Situated at the heart of Coonawarra, Jamiesons Run was named as a tribute to the region's history as cattlegrazing country. Favourable growing seasons are the norm, the harvested grapes exhibit elevated levels of flavour. Following crushing, the fruit is treated to a rotary fermentation for six to eight days, with occasional pumpovers. After pressing off skins, wines are racked post malolactic and apportioned to a combination of new and seasoned oak barrels. After eighteen months of maturation, each barrel is trialled and tasted for inclusion, the final assemblage exhibits fine structure with good balance, and offers the richness that's characteristic of a fine blend of noble grapes.
