Established by Ron and Elva Laughton in 1975, Jasper Hill has become synonymous with biodynamic farming and terroir-driven wines, with Georgia's Paddock recognised as one of the country's benchmark expressions of cool-climate Shiraz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exceptional 1997 vintage produced a wine of remarkable richness, structure and longevity. Now a highly sought-after mature release, it beautifully showcases the distinctive red volcanic Cambrian soils of Heathcote, combining vibrant fruit, savoury complexity and the signature chalky tannin profile that has made Georgia's Paddock an Australian icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warm, dry conditions of the 1997 growing season delivered perfectly ripened fruit with outstanding concentration and balance. The biodynamically managed vineyard produced low yields of intensely flavoured Shiraz, resulting in a wine with exceptional depth while retaining freshness and natural acidity. At release, the wine was noted for its deep magenta colour, sweet briary berry fruit and outstanding cellaring potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruit was hand harvested from the estate vineyard and traditionally vinified with minimal intervention to preserve vineyard character. Matured in French oak before bottling, the wine has evolved gracefully over nearly three decades, developing remarkable tertiary complexity while maintaining the vibrant structure and mineral backbone that define Jasper Hill's house style.\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\u003eGeorgia's Paddock Shiraz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1997\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\u003e100% Shiraz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCork\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\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Vineyard Heathcote Shiraz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCellaring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrink Now–2030\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlagship single-vineyard Shiraz from Jasper Hill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstate-grown on Heathcote's famed Cambrian soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified biodynamic vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndrew Caillard MW – 96 Points (2017 review)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of Australia's benchmark collectible Shiraz wines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutstanding mature cool-climate Shiraz with exceptional provenance\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 deep crimson with mature garnet hues, retaining impressive vibrancy and depth for its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplex aromas of dark chocolate, roasted chestnut, roasted walnut and forest floor mingle with mocha, earthy spice and mature dark fruit, creating an expressive bouquet that continues to evolve in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerous, supple and beautifully integrated, delivering layers of dark cherry, mocha, roasted coffee and savoury spice.
