This wine is dominated by aromas of blackcurrant, cassis and subtle choc-mint characters along with complex spice and cigar box from the oak. Intense flavours of blackcurrant and cassis blend with subtle savoury French oak characters of cedar and spice. The finish is long and persistent.

Jaraman wines are created from the fusion of two exceptional parcels of fruit from iconic wine regions in Australia. The result is a single variety wine which is multi-dimensional, highlighting and enhancing the nuances of both terroirs. This wine is blended 55% Clare Valley and 45% Coonawarra fruit.

Wakefield is a third generation family wine business and was founded in 1969 by Bill Taylor who was inspired by his love for the red wines of Bordeaux’s Medoc region. He was drawn to South Australia’s Clare Valley with the attraction of the red-brown loam over limestone soils (also known as Terra Rossa) and the Clare Valley’s cool climate which were known to be ideal for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Today Wakefield is headed up by Mitchell Taylor whose philosophy blends an ‘old world’ estate mind set with ‘new world’ winemaking innovation; coupled with an almost fanatical attention to detail and obsession with quality. This results in wines of tremendous quality and style that are made with respect for the company’s family heritage. Wakefield was recently acclaimed as the most Awarded Winery in the World by The World Association of Wine Writers and Journalists (WAWWJ).
