Jasper Hill Georgia's Paddock Shiraz

Heathcote, Australia

One of Australia's most distinctive and age-worthy Shiraz from the ancient Cambrian greenstone — dense, mineral, and unlike any other Australian red. Dark plum, ironstone, pepper, licorice, dark chocolate, and an earthy minerality that reflects 550 million years of volcanic history in every glass.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Victoria's pastoral heritage and its most mineral Shiraz — the wine's ironstone and plum character mirrors the slow-braised lamb; thyme bridges the wine's herbal complexity
• main: Game and Cambrian Shiraz — the wine's mineral intensity handles venison's gaminess; juniper echoes the wine's spice; beetroot mirrors the iron mineral character
