5 Star Winery - Halliday Wine Companion
"The red wines of Jasper Hill are highly regarded and much sought after. As long as vintage conditions allow, these are wonderfully rich and full-flavoured wines. The vineyards are dry- grown and are managed organically. " - James Halliday
“Jasper Hill’s Shiraz based wines . . . are simply superb.”- Langton’s Fine Wine Guide, 5th edition 2002 p145
“Simply try the majestically profound Emily’s Paddock, or Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz and you will find some of Australia’s greatest Shiraz, ultimate expressions of the terroir of the Heathcote region.”- Oz Clarke’s Encyclopedia of Wine, Websters, London 1999 p206
"Our aim is to make great wine, with the preservation of nature’s flavours, complexities and balance in our wines by using minimal intervention in our vineyards and in the cellar – to allow the individual vineyard’s “terroir” or sense of place to express itself by ‘interfering’ as little as possible. Our wines are grown, made and bottled entirely on the estate from our own organic unirrigated vineyards. We produce our own composts and have never used synthetic chemicals on either the vines or the soils, since our vineyards were planted in 1975... Established by Ron and Elva Laughton, ever since the first vintage in 1982 Jasper Hill has been a small, family business." - Jasper Hill
