    2013 ACJ

    Winemaker’s Notes
    This restricted release wine is named in honour of our founder,
    Alexander Campbell Johnston, who over 124 years ago planted
    his first small vine cutting in iron laden, rich red soil near the
    township of McLaren Vale. The Johnston Family still produce
    estate grown wines and operate one of Australia’s oldest
    wineries – PIRRAMIMMA.

    Only produced if selected parcels display outstanding varietal


    and regional characters. The exceptional 2013 vintage
    provided such fruit for our fifth ACJ release of 500 dozen. The
    wine is a blend of 51% Shiraz from our War Horse block, 26%
    Petit Verdot from the Siberia block, 15% Cabernet from our
    Homestead vineyard and 8% merlot from our Basket Weaved
    Katunga Vineyard.

    The bouquet displays briary blackberry, prune, violets and


    black olive with hints of subtle vanillin oak and toasted
    almond. On the palate intense black cherry, blueberry,
    liquorice and spicy red currant are complemented by hints of
    musk and cedary oak. All enveloped in fine grained savoury
    French oak. The wine has a beautifully integrated seam of firm
    tannin and long sustained finish. Aerate extensively to drink
    now or will age gracefully with correct cellaring.
