Overview
A mature release of one of Jasper Hill’s most distinctive wines, the 1990 Emily’s Paddock combines Shiraz and Cabernet Franc from the estate’s smallest vineyard. Low yields, extended skin contact, natural yeast co-fermentation and French oak maturation shape a deeply structured, long-lived Heathcote red. Decades of bottle development have brought added complexity while retaining the firm tannin profile for which Emily’s Paddock is known.
Vineyard
Emily’s Paddock is Jasper Hill’s smallest vineyard at 2.7 hectares, planted on an easterly facing slope. Naturally low yields contribute to the wine’s intensity of flavour and characteristically firm tannin structure.
Winemaking
Shiraz and Cabernet Franc were co-fermented with natural yeasts and kept on skins for five to six weeks before gentle pressing. The wine was matured for 12 months in French oak.
Producer Tasting Notes
Jasper Hill — Time of Release
“Classic rich dark purple colour; typical powerful earthy spiciness to both aroma and flavour. A big, tannic wine with finesse; long living. Very harmonious, with an extra dimension of fruit adding to the complexity, than previous vintages.”
