Jeanneret Rank & File Shiraz 2021

Get to know: Jeanneret Rank & File Shiraz 

Tasting Note

Inky and vibrant in the glass, the 2021 Rank & File Shiraz demands attention from the start. The nose is a heady rush of intense blackberry and blackcurrant, laced with brooding dark spices and a creamy richness that feels both indulgent and irresistible. On the palate, it’s a torrent of ripe, velvety dark fruit that’s as decadent as it is delicious - a true pleasure-seeker’s wine. But beneath the hedonism lies structure: firm tannins provide backbone and length, reminding you this isn’t all play. A streak of zesty energy cuts through the richness, keeping things lively and balanced.

Perfect for sipping solo, though it truly sings alongside chargrilled meats or boldly flavoured dishes. Unapologetically lush.

Producer Info

Jeanneret see Shiraz as the Rank and File grape of the Australian wine industry. It's grown in almost every wine region and its ability to produce big, soft, rich and balanced wines have made it possible for winemakers to build their reputations with it. Shiraz from the Clare Valley has all these characteristics and its own unique form and structure.

The 2021 Rank & File Shiraz is the result of a combination of low yielding vineyards and low intervention winemaking creating a wine of excellent texture, complexity and depth.
