Pepperjack Red Blend 2024 is a rich, generous, and characterfully Barossa expression — crafted by Saltram as a tribute to the Barossa Valley’s heritage, and a testament to the Pepperjack winemaking team’s respect for traditional technique and passion for this special region. Deep, vibrant ruby with purple hues; dark cherry, cranberry, and ripe raspberry on the nose with subtle spice and mocha nuances; a rich, structured palate of vibrant fruit, smooth velvety tannins, and a soft, flavourful finish with lingering spice and mocha undertones. Fermented separately in traditional style fermenters and matured for 12 months before blending and bottling. The Barossa at its most welcoming.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep, vibrant ruby with purple hues — the rich, youthful colour of a concentrated Barossa Valley red blend from the Pepperjack range, with the excellent clarity and viscosity that 12 months of careful maturation deliver.
Aroma
Dark red cherries and cranberries layered with ripe raspberry — subtle spice elements emerging alongside gentle mocha nuances, creating a complex and inviting aromatic profile that speaks to the Barossa Valley’s ability to produce wines of exceptional character and depth.
Palate
Rich and structured — dark cherry and raspberry taking centre stage, beautifully balanced by smooth, velvety tannins that provide both length and elegance. Medium to full body carrying the fruit through to a soft, flavourful finish with lingering spice and mocha undertones.
Pairs With
A natural companion for grilled lamb chops, beef burgers, barbecued sausages, hearty pasta with rich tomato-based sauces, wood-fired pizza with cured meats, and mature cheddar — Pepperjack Red Blend 2024 is the Barossa at its most generous and versatile.
Finish
Soft, flavourful, and lingering — dark cherry, raspberry, spice, and mocha fading with smooth, velvety tannins, leaving a warm, generous close that makes every glass a genuinely rewarding expression of Barossa Valley winemaking.
