Best in Show, 2026 Saint Martin Oak Great Australian Shiraz Challenge
Sanector Best Victorian Shiraz
Vibrant deep red with a brilliant hue, leading to lifted aromas of violet, liquorice, plum and spice. The palate reveals ripe berries and savoury white pepper, finishing long and silky with elegant, persistent tannins.
Up against more than 300 wines from Australia’s great red regions, our 2025 Shiraz took out two trophies: Best in Show and the Sanector Best Victorian Shiraz. We’ve released it early to celebrate, and it will age magnificently.
What our winemaker says
Elated Jack Rabbit Winemaker, Nyall Condon said the 2025 Shiraz was a reflection of site and season.
"Following consecutive warm, dry growing seasons and lower-than-average yields, this 2025 Jack Rabbit Shiraz displays exceptional concentration of flavour, depth and structure."
"Sourced from mature Shiraz vines aged 30–35 years, the wine reflects the character of two distinct vineyard sites, both located in the heart of The Bellarine. “Cliffington”, with its denser plantings, lighter volcanic fine sandy loam soils and proximity to the coast, offers a distinctive expression of site. Further inland, our “Bundaleer” vineyard produces fruit from deep, dark and varied soils, ranging from basalt-rich volcanic loams to cracking clay, contributing depth and complexity."
"Featuring the established PT23 clone, a cornerstone of Australian Shiraz, the fruit was fermented in multiple small-batch open-top fermenters before maturation in barriques."
"Shiraz has long been central to Australia's wine identity, helping establish our reputation on the world stage. Today, the growing recognition of cool-climate Shiraz and Syrah, both in Australia and internationally, highlights a style defined by elegance, savoury complexity and refined tannin structure."
