The story of Pepperjack Shiraz

Pepperjack began in 1996 with one wine and one idea, a Barossa Shiraz. The 1996 vintage was released in 1998 and, for its first five years, was sold only in bars, clubs and restaurants before it moved into homes. The wines are made at Saltram in Angaston, in South Australia's Barossa Valley, a winery whose founder William Salter planted shiraz there in 1859 and made his first vintage in 1862. Pepperjack is now part of Treasury Wine Estates.

Barossa local Richard Mattner has been the winemaker since 2007. The Shiraz is full bodied and plush, with blackberry and blue fruit, dark chocolate and a hint of spice, soft tannins and a smooth, flavourful finish.

The brief from the start was a wine designed for food from the ground up, at an honest price. It is a natural match for a scotch fillet or a Sunday roast, and the soft tannins also suit a pub parma or a barbecue. Open it a little before dinner and serve it at cool room temperature.
