Thankyou to everyone for coming to our release weekend. All wines are now available online, and welcome appointments to visit the cellar door.
Jasper Hill is a small, family owned and operated organic vineyard and winery in Heathcote, central Victoria, Australia.
Reflecting the complex geology of Heathcote, Jasper Hill Vineyard is synonymous for crafting exceptional wines expressing its unique terroir, yet amidst such hype, the real story behind what's in your glass begs consideration.
Situated on ancient soils north of the township, Emily's Paddock and Georgia's Paddock were planted in 1975. Dry grown and organic, with care given to each vine during its dormant and growing seasons. Cane pruned by hand with attention to bud positioning and numbers nurtures vine health. Promoting growth with shoot thinning during spring and bunch thinning later in summer. Caring for the soil with compost, compost teas, and cover crops protects the microbiology and keeps the nutrient cycle alive.
In the winery cleaning is our top priority. Understanding microbes are responsible for fermentation we try not to disturb their environment. Aging in French oak for twelve months develops complexity. Filtering, bottling and packaging is completed on site.
To achieve sustainability we work hard on our strengths, keeping our business small and manageable.
Thanks to all our customers past, present and future.
Current release
Predominately Shiraz, this full bodied wine is given added dimension by a small yet impactful 7% addition of Cabernet Franc. Picked and co-fermented, the result offers lifted red fruits with an earthly structure from the soil in which it is grown. Initially the tannins appear green; however, they give lift and freshness to the palate, allowing the herbal notes to shine. It is looking good now, but we are excited to see how it will be drinking in another few years.

Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz is approximately half of our entire production. We pick many tanks across several weeks; this allows us the comfort of harvesting some early, the bulk when optimal and letting a little hang at the riper end of the flavour spectrum. Each tank is fermented, pressed and kept in oak separately until blending. The result is complex, fresh red fruits upfront while layers of spice and chalky tannins follow to build weight. Once again vibrant and approachable now, yet with all the building blocks to cellar with confidence.

A polar opposite wine to the 2025, this Riesling shows that no two vintages are the same. While also picked early, this naturally fermented Riesling sits in the off dry category. Still very much in the lemon-citrus wheelhouse and carrying plenty of natural acidity, the residual sugar allows for a generous mouth feel and palate weight.

A classic burst of rose on the nose sets the stage for our 2025 Heathcote Nebbiolo. Bright and floral it’s packed with dark cherry and ripe red currant notes. You’ll see plenty of bold, firm tannins that build, wrapping up with a delicious hit of oak spice and smoky flint.

Harvested early to produce a fresh, vibrant Shiraz that can be enjoyed young. Purchased fruit from two Heathcote vineyards, with distinctly different soil profiles, contribute savoury elements that complement the core base of red fruit. Bright purple in colour, it displays velvety notes of spice and raspberry, true to form with hints of cola and smoked meats.
Diam 10 Cork seal | 15.0% alc/vol
A blend of 50% estate-grown and 50% regional fruit, fermented in a mix of new French oak and stainless steel. This Fiano has a flinty minerality on the nose with ripe pears and custard apple. A dry wine that will lend itself well to food, featuring a palate of pithy grapefruit, almond kernel with punchy acidity and chewy textures.
