Predominantly Shiraz with Cabernet Franc, Emily's Paddock is known for its concentrated fruit, savoury complexity and firmer tannin structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt release, the 1999 vintage was described as more assertively tannic than the preceding years, with a substantial, textured character and distinctive notes of mixed spice, berries, smoke and savoury meatiness. Now fully mature, it offers an opportunity to experience a developed expression of one of Heathcote's most recognised Shiraz-based wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmily's Paddock is Jasper Hill's smallest vineyard, covering approximately 2.7 hectares on an easterly facing slope. Naturally low yields contribute to the vineyard's intense flavours and characteristically firm tannin profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shiraz and Cabernet Franc are harvested together and co-fermented with natural yeasts. The wine remains on skins for five to six weeks before gentle pressing and maturation for 12 months in French oak. The 1999 release combined concentrated fruit with prominent tannins, natural structure and a long, savoury finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttribute\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJasper Hill\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmily's Paddock Shiraz Cabernet Franc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeathcote, Victoria\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAustralia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVariety\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShiraz and Cabernet Franc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVineyard Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 2.7 hectares\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaturation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 months in French oak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMature Single-Vineyard Shiraz Cabernet Franc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-vineyard release from Jasper Hill's smallest vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShiraz and Cabernet Franc co-fermented with natural yeasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended skin contact for five to six weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatured for 12 months in French oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAwarded 95 points by Andrew Caillard MW in 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRare mature release from the 1999 Heathcote vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium to deep crimson with mature garnet tones, showing the colour development expected of a wine from this vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplex aromas of dark cherry, mint chocolate and mocha are layered with smoke, tobacco leaf, sage, cedar and savoury meaty notes.
