Jasper Hill Occam’s Razor Shiraz 2022

Very dark impenetrable colour, and a very Heathcote nose. Blackberry, dark cherry, glace cherry, chocolate, ferrous notes, fresh compost and savoury spices. Luscious palate, rich and full bodied with an enveloping volume of fruit, fresh cinnamon, vanilla and cigar box. Rich, ripe chocolatey tannins focus the wine’s sheer density and a seam of acid completes a picture of “controlled full on”. A wonderful expressions of a traditional Australian wine style. Norris at Waters Wine Co

‘An extreme shiraz that somehow manages to marry very dense black plum and blackberry fruit with a slew of wild herb freshness. The huge tannic depth and concentrated fruit fit remarkably well together, the finish long and driving. Drink or hold.’ 94 points, James Suckling.com, October 2022

Emily and Nick’s own label, named after 14th century theologian William of Occam’s philosophy of “less is more”, with a stylised “ < less than” symbol on the label, very applicable to our minimal intervention winemaking methodology. Once again we have sourced grapes from Colbinabbin, mid-north of the Heathcote region and blended together with a parcel of Heathcote fruit from further south west. Going forward with the Occam’s label we aim for continuity with these vineyards into the future. We closely watched ripening and harvested early to capture a great fresh feel. Dark crimson colour, forward spicy fruit with a raspberry and cream finish. Delicious, enjoy it now. 1-by-1 branded cork-taint-free cork sealed, 15.0% alcohol‘ Emily McNally of Jasper Hill
