The Jackman Vineyards Barrel Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 2019 is a true expression of Barossa heritage and craftsmanship. Jackman Vineyards pays homage to James Jackman, who first purchased land in Greenock in 1850—land that has gone on to produce some of the finest Shiraz fruit in the world. This flagship limited release is crafted from vines aged 50 years or more, with only 30 barrels selected in the very best vintages, making it one of the most exclusive wines of the Barossa Valley.

In the glass, the wine displays deep crimson with purple edges. The nose is rich and perfumed, with blackberry, blood plum, and black cherry layered alongside notes of licorice, dark chocolate, spice, and a subtle earthy ironstone character. On the palate, it is full-bodied and mouth-filling, with opulent blackberry and plum fruit at its core, complemented by raisin, savoury spice, and earth. Fine tannins integrate seamlessly with well-judged oak, giving structure, balance, and exceptional length. This is a classic, powerful Barossa Shiraz built for both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring.

With its limited availability, old vine pedigree, and carefully curated barrel selection, this Barrel Reserve Shiraz is a benchmark release from one of Greenock’s most treasured vineyards.
