Overview
Overview
Australian’s love nothing better than a great steak…and they love nothing better to have with their steak than a great bottle of Pepperjack Shiraz. Just as different steak cuts have different flavour, texture and appeal - so do different shirazes. The Pepperjack Graded Collection showcases shiraz made to perfectly match two of our favourite cuts of steak – Scotch Fillet and Porterhouse.
The Pepperjack Graded McLaren Vale Shiraz was hand crafted to partner with Scotch Fillet as the McLaren Vale region produces Shiraz that is highly concentrated with lots of fruit flavour, as well as richness to balance the rich flavours of the Scotch Fillet.
Rich and dark red in colour with a dark purple rim, the nose shows a concentrated layer of blue and black fruits, dark chocolate and hints mocha and savoury oak notes. The palate is rich and plush with an excellent structure. There are concentrated layers of blue and black berry fruits blended with balanced oak.

Richard Mattner - Winemaker
Growing up in the Barossa Valley, winemaker Richard Mattner was never far from wine. His grandfather's vineyard at the highly-regarded Light Pass district was Richard's playground during the school holidays. Upon leaving school, Richard gained employment as a cellar hand and began a career in the wine industry in 1993. Richard was destined to be a winemaker and in 2004 he graduated from Charles Sturt University with Bachelor of Applied Science (Wine Science). Richard says winemaking is an art and just another way of creatively expressing himself. In addition to his passion for red wine, Richard has a keen interest in all things sports and loves nothing more than to relax with friends and enjoy a char-grilled scotch fillet on the barbeque perfectly matched with a bottle of wine, of course.
