Pepperjack will release its limited edition 2022 Single Vineyard Barossa Valley Shiraz next month. It's the first-ever premium release for the Barossa Valley winery, which will be available to purchase on from mid-November If like us, you're keen to secure one for Christmas (it even comes in a gift box), preorders for the limited-release wine will open on November 7.
Pepperjack's winemaking team is led by Richard Mattner, who says the shiraz was born from an unwavering commitment to excellence. "This limited-edition release is more than just a bottle of wine – it’s a labour of love, a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that defines the Pepperjack legacy."
The 2022 Single Vineyard Barossa Valley Shiraz is a blend of 95.6 per cent shiraz and 4.4 per cent cabernet sauvignon. The 2021 growing season was the wettest on record prior to 1996 (which is the same year Pepperjack was established), before a dry summer and welcomed rainfall in February. Each individual block from the vineyard was fermented separately, before being transferred to seasoned and new oak for 18 months prior to blending and bottling.
