Pepperjack was first released in 1998 with a 1996 Barossa Shiraz. After spending five years exclusively in bars, clubs and restaurants Pepperjack has gone from strength to strength, with the Barossa Shiraz a real Aussie favourite. Since its release Pepperjack Shiraz has consistently received the honour of being Australia’s Number 1 red wine by value.
Rich dark red and blue fruits, ripe blackberries, dark chocolate and rich mocha notes are enveloped by hints of spice and integrated oak. The palate is rich and plush with concentrated layers of blackberry, blue fruits and oak, balanced with soft layers of tannins to give length and finesse.

Vintage Conditions
Following two particularly dry seasons, many were hoping for Mother Nature to be much kinder in 2020–21, and mostly she was. The Barossa experienced some frost damage in late September. November recorded 4 days above 35°C, however, conditions throughout summer were relatively mild with December recording its lowest maximum temperature since 2014. Cool, dewy mornings and maximum temperatures below 30°C for the majority of January provided optimal ripening conditions. Conditions were quite favourable during flowering, allowing bunches to set and good fruit development. Whilst yield varied between vineyards, it was welcome relief to achieve close to average crops in comparison to the last two seasons. Vintage was less compressed than in previous. Harvest continued well into April as the dry Indian summer continued to ripen the grapes and allow winemakers to pick when the fruit was at its optimum ripeness.
