WHITES ROAD 517 Shiraz 2017 - ClareValley

One of the Jarressa Estate’s oldest vineyard is planted with Shiraz and Chardonnay. It is sited in a low-lying area. Through thousands of years, all the fertile top soil was washed down from the surrounding hills and deposited in our vineyard. That is how our lovely deep rich loam-based soil was formed, which provide fundamental structure for a good quality of Jarressa Estate wine.

The verges of Whites Road are lined with old gnarled Mallee trees, the same trees that greeted early settlers. The scrub is interspersed with tea trees, wattles, wild oranges and quandongs, fruit the local Narungga aboriginal tribe harvested for food. Generations have farmed on the Whites Road property, proud to live on a road bearing their name
