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 12 months maturation before blending and bottling.

"62.1/37.8/0.1% cabernet sauvignon/shiraz/other, from Langhorne Creek/McLaren Vale/Clare/Barossa. Matured 12 months in seasoned and new oak barrels. Richard Mattner unites the big-gun regions of SA to celebrate the quintessential Aussie blend. It rejoices in all there is to love about the past, present and future of Australian winemaking. A deep core of blackcurrant and blackberry fruit stretches tall and long, upheld by a fine splay of intricate tannins and bright acidity. Outstanding line and unwavering persistence make for one of the best reds at this price on the shelves today."
South Australia experienced above average winter rains ahead of a dry and warmer than average summer resulted in solid 2018 vintage. Spring rainfall quickly tapered back to around average, but a windy season kept canopies dry and helped to check excessive growth. Summer rainfall was relatively low keeping disease pressure under control. Temperatures were higher than average, with a number of short heatwaves across South Australia but favorable ripening during February, with daytime temperatures in the high 20s with cool nights, led to fruit in great condition at picking.
