Overview

Overview

Our winemaking team has respect for traditional winemaking techniques, yet is also dynamic and imaginative. Pepperjack winemakers are conscious of modern wine styles and create wines that reflect our passion for this special region. 

After crushing and destemming, the parcels of fruit were fermented separately in traditional style fermenters. The wines were gently pressed, racked and transferred to seasoned and new oak barrels for 15 months maturation before blending and bottling.

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

The nose is intensely fragrant with dark plum, black currants, mint and hints of spice.

Flavours and Palate

The palate is rich and plush with good structure. There is a concentrated layers of blackberry, blue fruits and oak which is balanced with layers of tannins to give length and finesse while finishing full of flavour.

Viticulture

Viticulture

South Australia experienced a drier than average growing season. The continuation of dry conditions has contributed to generally low yields across the state. Dry conditions during spring reduced the vigour of vines, while several days of very high winds in late November were seen to reduce the berry set of Cabernet Sauvignon which were flowering at the time. December and January were particularly dry and hot, but after the rainfall in early February South Australia experienced a very cool ripening period. Vintage was reasonably compressed seeing harvest in many regions only taking 5 to 6 weeks. The resultant wines are fruit expressive with excellent quality.
