The 2019 Moppa Hill Block 6 Shiraz is sourced from a 6 acre single vineyard on the eastern slope of the Moppa Hill. It has an altitude of 365m and is planted on ancient iron rich sandy soil over friable orange clay. Sustainable vineyard practices are used with a real care for the soil and surrounding natural environment. Naturally a very low yielding vineyard and produces wine with distinctive aromas and complexity.
Crimson-purple rim, glossy black core. Perfumed blackberry, plum, mulberry fruit and abundant spice, characteristic of the vineyard. This site assures a true sense of place with its purity of fruit, peppercorn spice and dried lavender. There is a subtle suggestion of geological input from the site adding complexity with a hint of ferrous. Concentrated and intense flavours from an ultra-low yielding vintage at 466kg to the acre. Ripe plum and blackberry fruit is nicely tensioned with a delicious flow of mineral acidity. The framework of this wine’ structure is derived from solid fruit tannin coupled with good oak tannin, a long life in the cellar is guaranteed. Unlike the 2018 vintage that had immense drinkability now the 2019 will benefit with few more years in the cellar.
Great sites, top-notch fruit and a most thoughtful and conscientious vigneron result in a range of authentic and characterful wines. Laughing Jack’s enviable vineyard holdings were planted by his forebears and span three sub-regions in the Barossa —Moppa, Greenock and Marananga.
Winemaker Shawn Kalleske's journey began amidst the vineyards of his family estate, instilling a profound love for winemaking. His unwavering dedication to sustainable viticulture practices is evident in every bottle Laughing Jack produces, reflecting his genuine passion for the craft. With deep roots in the Barossa Valley, the Kalleske family has been an integral part of the region.
