2016 JJ Hahn 1890's Vineyard Shiraz
JJ Hahn 1890's Vineyard Shiraz, From Some of the Oldest Shiraz Vines on Earth
The 2016 JJ Hahn 1890's Vineyard Shiraz is sourced from vines planted in 1890, among the oldest surviving Shiraz vines on the planet, making this a genuinely historic Barossa Shiraz.
My Wine Man on JJ Hahn
JJ Hahn is a small Barossa Valley producer whose flagship Shiraz comes from a single, dry-grown vineyard planted in 1890. These pre-phylloxera bushvines produce wines of extraordinary concentration and historical significance.
Tasting Notes
Deep crimson with profound concentration. Dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, mocha, leather and a touch of clove. The palate is full-bodied with ripe velvety tannins and a long, generous finish.
Style & Drinking Window
Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Drinking beautifully now and through 2032. Decant 1 hour.
Food Pairing
A Shiraz from 130-year-old vines deserves the finest beef. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Cape Grim Rib-Eye Steak from My Meat Man, dry-aged and char-grilled medium-rare with bone-marrow butter, a magnificent match for the 1890's Vineyard dark plum, mocha and velvety old-vine Barossa tannins.
