Jean-Paul Granite Shiraz 2020

From young gun on the rise, and self-proclaimed happy winemaker - Jean-Paul - comes this ultra cool Shiraz. Grown at 600m altitude on cooling granitic soils, these grapes see a long, slow maceration before wild ferment and age in old oak. A fantastic example of how classy cool climate Aussie Shiraz can be.

Jean-Paul Nebbiolo 2021

From young gun on the rise, and self-proclaimed happy winemaker - Jean-Paul.

"Nebbiolo, a wine for the nobility. Elegant and gracious, with the ability to age for decades. Picked in March, left on skins for one month and aged in French barriques. This is liquid pleasure in a bottle. This fruit driven Nebbiolo is mineral and elegant with flavours of red cherries and a hint of aniseed. Bottled without fining or filtering." - Jean-Paul

Jean-Paul Petillant Naturel 2021

Jean-Paul worked his first vintage in 2007 in Nuits Saint George, Burgundy.

He starting out picking grapes, but somehow ended up in the winery within a week. Notes from him - Made with Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Fermented on skins for seven day using indigenous yeast. Then gently pressed and barrel fermented. A mineral sparkling wine with flavours of stone fruit, pear, and brioche.
