This is another very good vintage of Jean-Paul’s shiraz from the hilly region south of Yea. It has gentle, savoury aromatics of earth, vanilla, spice and Christmas cake. The palate has a sweet plum fruit core supported by moderate tannins and modest alcohol of 12.5% for shiraz. It finishes with medium to long length and is ready to drink now. Micro producer Jean-Paul’s Vineyard deserves a wide audience with this level of quality. Review Rating: Very Good (★★★★, 91 points). Website: Jean-Paul’s Vineyard. Tasted: April 2025.
