Rivers Lane is where you'll find the J & J Wines vineyard, so why not call your wine after it? This is a lovely, rich, and powerful organic Shiraz too. Matured using a mix of French and American oak, it's a luscious, robustly flavoured, super smooth Shiraz with acres of flavour and a finish that goes on for days.

We've heard a few vineyard origin stories in our time, but a former ostrich breeding farm? Now that's a first. Jeff & Joan Mason saw the potential, though, planting a vineyard on their fertile block just outside the McLaren Vale township in 1998. This was the middle of the international Shiraz boom, so Australia's fave red grape was a natural choice, and they had their first vintage in 2000 as a bit of a hobby. But the volume of grapes quickly made this a commercial operation, and the business needed a name; Jeff & Joan's wine business became J & J Wines. The next part of this story is where it gets interesting. Not content with the status quo, Jeff & Joan converted the vineyard to organic production with full certification in 2012. Now, they produce a small range of Shiraz from their organic property that tastes like another level. These are rich, luscious McLaren Vale wines, made with minimal sulphur, filtering or fining that taste like the essence of 'Vale' Shiraz in every glass.
