Richard Tarlton was favourite among jesters to Queen Elizabeth I. Tarlton was the first to achieve national celebrity as a comedian and enjoyed a successful career in theatre as a leading member of the Queen’s Players. As a writer, he was the author of popular ballads and plays. ‘Jester’ celebrates the era where boredom was alleviated through humour and the banal through intellect.

Vineyard
The 2001 vintage provided the grape growers and winemakers of McLaren Vale with one of their most challenging harvests. Despite some adversity in conditions, the rewards for those with skill and good management were bountiful with some exceptional wine being produced - particularly red wines.

Despite some adversity in conditions, the rewards for those with skill and good management were bountiful with some exceptional wine being produced - particularly red wines which are of excellent quality.

Tasting Note
Deep dark red with purple hues. The nose displays a wisp of fine grained French oak with masses of blackberry, violet and spice. The palate displays pepper, spice with cassis and smoke. A well structured wine that will age reliably under Stelvin for the next 6 years.
