Halliday Wine Companion Top 100 Wineries 2024: Jasper Hill

51. Jasper Hill

Heathcote, Victoria 

There are few Victorian wineries as iconic as Jasper Hill. The Laughton’s two vineyards, or ‘paddocks’ are cornerstones of the Heathcote region, stubbornly dry grown, organic certified and incorporating biodynamic practices (not certified). There are two sites, named after Ron and Elva Laughton’s daughters, Emily and Georgia, with the majority of the plantings shiraz. Emily and her husband, Nick, now run the estate, with Emily making the wines. There are small amounts of excellent riesling produced from the original vines, plus a leading nebbiolo, while the benchmark fiano (under the Lo Stesso label) now comes equally off estate vines and locally sourced grapes. But it is the Georgia’s Paddock and Emily’s Paddock (shiraz with cabernet franc) that are the enduring icons of the range, powerfully deep and spice laden, informed by the meticulous farming and ancient Cambrian soils.
