Jacob's Creek Reserve '07 Shiraz

Good winter rains ensured that soil profiles were well filled before the growing season. Cool spring temperatures experienced in premium grape growing regions promoted healthy vine growth with desirable bunch numbers. Warm and dry summer conditions provided ideal conditions for optimum colour and flavour development, while efficient ripening was encouraged by warm autumn temperatures. Reduced yields, low disease risk and desirable weather conditions ensured that premium Shiraz parcels showed the richness of colour and intensity of varietal flavour required for the Jacob's Creek Reserve Shiraz.
