During the early 2000’s some of John’s loyal Langhorne Creek growers from his Wolf Blass days started to encounter some tough times, so John, along with great mate and local vigneron Bill Potts, decided the time was right to take matters into their own hands and help out a few of their mates … and so the Gipsie Jack wine label began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelected parcels of estate grown shiraz from 60 year old vines, along with fruit sourced from local growers was used in the making of this wine.

The nose is quite primary and fresh. The palate has a thick core of red and dark berry fruits along with the usual (for this wine) briary, tarry characters and some spicy peppery complexity. The wine has good length with some lovely chewy tannin and a nice acid line (that enhances the length) and should help with longevity in the bottle. As per the norm, there is just a lick of quality sweet oak on the finish. Although this wine still shows some good concentration and is approachable in its youth, it does have some elegance about it and should age well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAlc\/Vol: 14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gipsie Jack","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42210006434001,"sku":"9336579000723","price":22.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6662\/4209\/files\/regions_gipsiejack_shirazNV.png?v=1721029058"},{"product_id":"gipsie-jack-dolcetto-2019","title":"Gipsie Jack Dolcetto 2019","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis fruity medium bodied wine offers dark, gentle spicy aromas with earthy undertones.

The wine was then pumped over 2-3 times daily throughout fermentation to extract colour, flavour and tannins prior to pressing to seasoned French and American oak hogsheads.
