Producer, Jacob's Creek Region, Barossa Valley, South Australia Style, Red Wine, Spirit-Barrel Finish Varietal, Shiraz Size, 750ml ABV, 14.7%
Jacob’s Creek, rooted in South Australia’s Barossa Valley and established with its first vines in 1847, is known for its innovation in winemaking. The Double Barrel range showcases this spirit: wines are first aged in traditional American or French oak, then finished in well-used spirit barrels—whisky, rum, or cognac—to impart subtle complexity, smoothness, and depth. The XO Cask Shiraz is a special limited release that highlights classic single‑vineyard fruit from the Barossa Valley, enhanced by this double‑barrel finishing for rich texture, vanilla, caramel, and roasted nut nuances

On the nose, expect complex smoky oak aromas layered with blackberry and vanilla. On the palate, it’s rich and generous, with deep dark fruit flavors, silky tannins and intriguing layers of crème brûlée, roasted nuts, and caramel, all culminating in a luxuriously smooth and weighty finish.
