About this product

Product description

Dry, Full Bodied style of Shiraz

Independent winery

Barossa Valley, Australia

Laughing Jack Greenock Shiraz is sourced from vineyards exclusively in the Greenock sub-region of the Barossa Valley. Located in the Valley's western edge, Greenock imparts warm, plush fruit characters with a dark chocolate and leather backbone. The Laughing Jack shows all of these qualities in abundance, especially the dark chocolate aspect with real concentration of flavour. A very powerful wine.

Taste profile

Full Bodied

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.

"Hand-picked fruit from the 2.2ha single-estate East Block vineyard in Greenock. No whole bunches. Wild fermented initially, hand plunged and basket pressed. Matured 20 months in 40% new French, 40% seasoned French, 10% new American and 10% seasoned American oak hogsheads. Released unfined and unfiltered. 629 dozen. Full, vibrant purple. The plush, sweet fruit and milk-chocolate core that signifies Greenock is scaffolded masterfully in a web of firm tannins, both fruit- and oak-derived. Red and blue fruits of all kinds abound, set to a bright line of natural acidity that keeps everything on track through a long finish. Engineered for the long haul with Shawn Kalleske precision." 94 points, Tyson Stelzer, Winecompanion.com.au
