A century in the making, this 100-year-old vine Shiraz is a rare and extraordinary release, marking both the vineyard’s centennial and Stanton & Killeen’s 150-year legacy.
Rich and full-bodied, the 2021 Jack’s Block Shiraz is layered with blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and coffee bean, woven with savoury spice and firm, elegant tannins. It’s a wine built to age, made from vines that have seen it all.

Stanton & Killeen Vintage Fortified 2002 | Review
"Great colour. Still pretty youthful with plenty of bramble fruit, touch of conserve or liqueur among the array or florals. Sweet baking spices. Excellent concentration. Really long. Balanced. Fresh feeling with excellent structure. Based on its current state and the sense of balance, I think this would look even better 20 years from now. One of the best SK VP." – Roscoe, The Prince Wine Store, Melbourne.
