{"product_id":"laughing-jack-shiraz-2022","title":"Laughing Jack Shiraz 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis perennial overachiever is sourced mainly from the Kalleske family’s Greenock, Moppa Hill and Marananga vineyards. This 2022 comprises 67% Greenock fruit, with 17% from Marananga and 16% Moppa. The combination of soils―red-brown earth over deep red clay in Greenock, clay and shale in Marananga and sand over clay and quartz with ironstone in Moppa―brings balance and a unique Laughing Jack expression. The fruit was 100% destemmed and transferred to various open-top fermenters (three, five and eight tonne). The wine was plunged by hand twice a day. The wine matured in oak barrels for 20 months―5% new French and 3% new American, with the balance seasoned French (55%) and American (37%).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's another excellent release from Shawn \u0026amp; his team; South Australian Shiraz in their hands is a thing of beauty. Dark-fruited and spicy with a full, smooth, generous palate and a long, flavoursome close. It offers far more than one should expect from this style and price—an easy decision if you’re looking for a good-value regional classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cspan\u003eSome great-value drinking here with shiraz sourced from 64\/28\/8% Greenock\/Moppa Hill\/Marananga, matured for 20 months in French and American oak. It's a traditionally framed Barossa shiraz with juicy plum, blackberry and dark cherry fruits over hints of oak spice, licorice, fruitcake, dark chocolate, olive tapenade, violets and earth. Tight, fine-grained tannins support, with some nice fresh acidity and some decent sustain on the back end.\" \u003cstrong\u003e91pts | Dave Brooks | Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Slow Beer and Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45731032531097,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/4030\/6329\/files\/IMG_2663.jpg?v=1760073340","url":"https:\/\/www.slowbeerandwine.com.au\/products\/laughing-jack-shiraz-2022","provider":"Slow Beer and Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
