Wine Description
Rich ruby with purple hues, this wine bursts with fresh blue fruits, red cherry, and wild berries, layered with flinty, savoury, and subtle spice notes. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant and juicy, offering red and blue fruit flavours, sweet kitchen spices, and beautifully integrated oak. Fine chalky tannins provide structure, length, and a persistent finish.

In 2023, he received the Encouragement Award at the Canberra International Riesling Challenge. Jarrad continues Pauletts’ legacy of crafting outstanding regional wines, especially the internationally celebrated Clare Valley Rieslings.
