The vineyards for the Jester Shiraz are located at the southern end of McLaren Vale where the combination of cool sea breezes and heavy clay soils provide ideal growing conditions for the production of intensely flavoured shiraz. This is a typically full flavoured and elegant shiraz, with dark fruit flavors of plum and blackberry, complemented by dark chocolate, licorice and white pepper spice.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "It's gorgeously ripe and inviting on the nose with blackberry, game, warm spice and roasted hazelnut aromas. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent weight and silky texture, well framed by finely infused tannins, offering delectable drinking."
Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot writes "Great value McLaren Vale Shiraz from a sensational vintage. After a cool fermentation, the wine spent 14 months in a mix of French (75%) and American (25%) oak hogsheads. We have notes of mocha, spices, plums, coffee beans, chocolate, blackberries, tobacco leaves and aniseed. A richly flavoured palate, which is really rather attractive. Good focus, balance and length with silky tannins. There is generosity and richness here. Cracking value. Enjoy over the next six to ten years."
