Jasper Hill wines from the Heathcote region of Victoria are internationally famed for their flavour and quality. Japser Hill is located in Heathcote, in Victoria Goldfields, in Melbourne Surrounds.
The Jasper Hill aim is to make great wine, with the preservation of nature's flavours, complexities and balance in the wines by using minimal intervention in the vineyards and in the cellar - to allow the individual vineyard's "terroir" or sense of place to express itself.
The Jasper Hill wines are produced entirely on the estate using organic/biodynamic principles. They produce our own organic compost and have never used synthetic chemicals on either the vines or the soils, since our vineyards were planted in 1975.
Viticultural practices are as close to nature as they can get them: own rooted vines (ie. not grafted on to American rootstocks to confer Phylloxera resistance), no irrigation whatsoever, minimal tillage, natural inter-row mulching leading to broad bio-diversity, in turn giving depth and intensity to the wines.
There are 2 main labels: Emily's Paddock (Shiraz and Cabernet Franc) and Georgia's Paddock (Shiraz), plus small areas of Riesling, Semillon and Nebbiolo.
