Jip Jip Rocks wine is synonymous with premium wines from South Australia’s Padthaway wine region. The vineyard is planted in some of the world’s oldest mineral rich soils and in the most temperate of maritime climates. The Jip Jip Rocks vineyard consistently produces excellent fruit quality from low yielding vines.
Only the best parcels of fruit are carefully selected throughout the vineyard and utilized in the Jip Jip Rocks label. Great attention to detail with the integration of fruit flavors and fine oak barrels helps produce classic handcrafted wine styles.
Lifted spice and ripe mulberry/blackberry aromas are complimented with chocolate, cedar and cinnamon on the nose. Well-integrated oak tannin provides flavors of clove and supple texture, which supports the rich plum, blackberry and mocha. The overall structure is supple and generous with fine-grained tannin and a lingering finish.
Pairs well with venison, ribeye steak, lamb.

"Wonderfully ripe and fragrant, the inviting bouquet shows Black Doris plum, blueberry compote, warm spice and cedar characters. The palate offers terrific fruit intensity combined with fleshy texture and polished tannins, making it delectable and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2027. AU$23.00."

"The wine is named for local outcrops of 350 million-year-old pink-red granite. An exceptional value, rhubarb and plum is spicy and generously spreads across the palate. Blackberry preserves and licorice meet with white pepper and a stoniness that combines on the finish with dark chocolate cedar."

"Opaque ruby. Spice-accented blackberry and cherry on the fragrant, oaktinged nose. Pliant dark fruit flavors show very good clarity and appealing sweetness, and a snap of juicy acidity adds back-end lift. Finishes on a clinging blueberry note, displaying strong persistence and round, even tannins. - Josh Raynolds"

"Coming from the Padthaway region of Australia, the2019 Shiraz is a juicy, lively red revealing pretty red and blue fruits as well as a kiss of eucalyptus, pepper, and spice. Medium-bodied, balanced, and nicely textured on the palate, it's beautifully done and about as gulpable as they come. I don't expect it to make old bones, but it would make one heck of a delicious house red to drink over the coming couple of years."
- Jeb Dunnuck (March 2021), 89 pts
"Black violet color. Aromas and flavors of roasted berries, carob, earth, juniper, and eucalyptus with a velvety, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, elegant, medium-long finish with suggestions of vanilla gelato, rosehips, raspberry coulis, and roasted nuts. A delicious and satisfying Shiraz that will enhance grilled meats"

"Substantial amount of blackberried flavour, served warm and soft, and yet balance seems too to have been a key consideration. This is well turned out. Gum leaf and toasty oak characters round out a high value, and highly drinkable, offering. - James Halliday"

"Plump, round and appealing, the 2016 Shiraz offers loads of boysenberry and mint. It's full-bodied and supple, offering plenty of early-drinking pleasure. There's no guarantee it will be long-lived, but it's delicious now. - Joe Czerwinski"
