The JC Block is named for Jill Cant, the previous owner, and was the first block Stephen worked with on the vineyard during his tenure as Chief Red Winemaker at Hardy’s. Hand harvested on the 24th of February, a week before the 2018 vintage. Crushed with 17% left as whole bunches, gently pressed after spontaneous fermentation and 14 days on skins. Settled in tank for 6 days before being sent to French oak puncheons and one barique, all second and third use, for malolactic fermentation. Racked twice during extended maturation in French oak puncheon. Bottled, unfined and unfiltered, on the 28th of July 2020, 1980 bottles produced.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFlavour: It’s never easy to describe the assault of aromas and flavours from the JC block Shiraz, for Stephen it’s the true indication of a great wine. The aromas seem to be everywhere all at once. Fleeting moments of red cherry, then iodine, a moment of dried Australian native flowers, is that vanilla bavois? Now to Red gum honey and mahogany; Captivating, intense and delightful.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStructure \u0026amp; Texture: Powerful tannins supported by the ferruginous flavours typical of Upper Tintara: Cocoa, bitumen, terracotta, the Aussie bush, dark red fruits - Elemental – Australian flavours but distinctly European texture with a drive and precision that continues to surprise and delight.\" \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Pannell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle\/ Variety: Shiraz\u003cbr\u003eRegion: McLaren Vale, SA\u003cbr\u003eABV: 14%\u003cbr\u003eVol: 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koomilya","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":46211381100802,"sku":"DEAR-51618","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/6149\/9906\/files\/koomilya-jcblockshiraz20191.jpg?v=1749686331","url":"https:\/\/carwyncellars.com.au\/products\/koomilya-jc-block-shiraz-2019-750ml","provider":"Carwyn Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
