Produced from Shiraz and Cabernet Franc, Emily's Paddock is distinguished by its firm tannin profile, natural acidity and savoury, site-driven character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt release, the 2000 vintage was described as an elegant and beautifully balanced expression, showing sweet red berries, mixed spice, perfume and exceptional length. Now fully mature, it offers a rare opportunity to experience the developed character of one of Jasper Hill's most recognised vineyard wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmily's Paddock is Jasper Hill's smallest vineyard, covering approximately 2.7 hectares on an easterly facing slope. Its naturally low yields contribute concentrated flavours and the firm tannin structure traditionally associated with this wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shiraz and Cabernet Franc were co-fermented with natural yeasts and remained on skins for five to six weeks before gentle pressing. The wine was then matured for 12 months in French oak, with the restrained production approach preserving the vineyard's fruit, natural acidity and distinctive structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttribute\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJasper Hill\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmily's Paddock Shiraz Cabernet Franc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeathcote, Victoria\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAustralia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVariety\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShiraz and Cabernet Franc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.0%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVineyard Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 2.7 hectares\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaturation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 months in French oak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMature Single-Vineyard Shiraz Cabernet Franc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCellaring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrink Now\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-vineyard release from Jasper Hill's smallest vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShiraz and Cabernet Franc co-fermented with natural yeasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended skin contact for five to six weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatured for 12 months in French oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAwarded 92 points by Andrew Caillard MW in 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRare mature release from the 2000 Heathcote vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium crimson with mature garnet tones, reflecting its extended bottle development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrant redcurrant, strawberry and red cherry aromas are joined by chinotto, leather and subtle polished-wood notes, with savoury and smoky nuances emerging with air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupple and creamy in texture, showing mature strawberry, redcurrant, chinotto and cola-like flavours.
