Jamiesons Run Cabernet Shiraz Merlot CONFIRM VINTAGE

Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Shiraz Limestone Coast South Australia
Jamiesons Run are deeply rooted in the history of Limestone Coast and the Coonawarra. They have assembled parcels of their best fruit to construct the archetypal blended Aussie red. An easy to appreciate claret style, Cabernet Sauvignon contributes mulberry and blueberry fruit flavours while Shiraz gives ripe blackberry and dark cherry with subtle spice. The addition of Merlot brings sweet dark plum flavours and hints of chocolate, giving the wine lift and grace. Essential at your next luncheon or twilight barbeque, to accompany sizzling beef or braised casserole.
The original Jamiesons Run was a remote outback sheep station owned by the Jamieson Brothers in the mid 1800s. The winery was named after the siblings as a tribute to the Limestone Coast's pioneering past. Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot are gently fermented over the course of a week with light aerative pumpovers. After gently pressing off skins, parcels are racked and transferred to a selection of new and seasoned French and American oak barrels to complete malolactic. Components are treated to an extended maturation, infusing depth and complexity whilst taming the tannins, followed by assemblage into a finely textured wine with great depth of palate and splendid lingering finish.
Vibrant dark crimson. A rich, lifted nose with aromas of raspberry, dark plum and cherry, lightly crushed fresh mint with a gentle lick of spice. The intense aromatics are enhanced by ageing in fine oak. A soft medium bodied palate showing dark plum, blackcurrant, berry and cinnamon. A silky soft texture and fine tannins, good balance and finesse, generous with great depth of flavour before a long flavourful finish.

Jamiesons Run
The original Jamiesons Run was a remote outback sheep station owned by the Jamiesons Brothers in the mid 1800's

Jamiesons Run, based in the heart of the famous Coonawarra region was named as a tribute to it's pioneering past. Two men separated by time and distance laid the foundations for Jamiesons Run's creation. The first was Alfred Deakin, Australia's second prime minister with the assistance of Canadian irrigation experts William and George Chaffey and the second was John Riddoch.

Jamiesons Run

John Riddoch, a Scottish migrant, established the Coonawarra Fruit Colony and planted the first vines in the Coonawarra area in 1890. The Undoolya Block vineyard contains hundred-year-old vines that date back from Riddoch's time, and is located close to where the Jamiesons Run winery is today.

Riddoch discovered the region's brick red coloured soil that was to become known as Terra Rossa - Australia's most famous wine-growing soil. Jamiesons Run's connection with Coonawarra started in 1953 as Mildara Wines under the guidance of director Ron Haselgrove, who purchased what turned out to be some of the most sought after parcels of Terra Rossa soil in Coonawarra.

Winemakers all over the world agree that "great wine is grown in the vineyard" - but to grow great wine you first need great soil. The international fame of Coonawarra is built on Australia's most prized wine growing soil, Terra Rossa. Coupled with a cooler maritime climate that ensures maximum flavour complexity, Terra Rossa (meaning 'Red Land') has made Coonawarra a winemaking paradise.

Jamiesons Run

Although the Terra Rossa strip is only a few feet higher than neighbouring soils it has better drainage as a result. Vines dislike having 'wet feet' as this hampers their root development. Wet soil also means cold soil and it is a vital part of the Coonawarra phenomenon that, despite its cooler climate, grapes here repeatedly reach optimum ripeness. It is the warmth of the Terra Rossa soils that allow this consistency. An ideal mineral profile and low nitrogen content are also vital for taming the natural vigour of vines and producing low yields of highly flavoured fruit.

The Jamiesons Run core range consists of the original Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz Merlot and four siblings. The Chardonnay has luscious stonefruit and creamy oak characters. The Coonawarra Merlot is a seductive wine with violets and red berries on the nose and palate. The Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant and rich cabernet with sweet dark plum, mulberry and blueberry fruit flavours while the Shiraz displays ripe blackberry and dark cherry with subtle hints of spice giving the wine lift and grace. The Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz Merlot is a classic expression of one of the world's great red winegrowing regions.

They all have a passion for the Coonawarra and strive to develop Jamiesons Run wines that display the finest characters from the region.
