Background
Pappy’s Paddock is a tribute to Gustav Gramp, the second-generation custodian of the 1847 Estate. Recognising the potential of a small parcel of land, Gustav selected it as the ideal site for premium vineyard planting. His sons, Hugo and Fred, later named it “Pappy’s Paddock” in his honour, planting vines to carry forward his legacy. Today, this wine continues to reflect the Gramp family’s deep respect for the land, their commitment to quality, and the enduring bond between generations. Each bottle from Pappy’s Paddock captures the spirit of tradition, craftsmanship, and the vineyard that started it all.
Winemaking
Particular care and attention go into deciding when the grapes are ready to pick to ensure they are picked at optimum ripeness. Also each parcel of grapes is treated individually in the winery to make sure the best possible wine is produced. Grapes for the 2022 Pappys Paddock Shiraz were picked in March, crushed and destemmed into fermenters where the must was inoculated with yeast. The ferments were pumped over twice a day to extract colour, flavour and tannin. The wines were left on skins for six days and on the seventh were pressed out. The wines were then matured in a mix of new oak (50%) and seasoned oak (50%) before the wine is bottled.
Vintage Report
The 2022 vintage in Barossa Valley was shaped by a mild, extended growing season. Average winter rainfall supported strong vine health, and spring was dry and even, encouraging successful flowering and fruit set. Summer remained moderate, with no major heat spikes, allowing slow, even ripening. These conditions led to wines with great aromatic intensity, balanced acidity, and fine tannin structure. Although yields were slightly below average due to cooler conditions, the overall quality was excellent. Red wines from 2022 show depth of colour, vibrant fruit character, and refined structure—hallmarks of a vintage with strong ageing potential and regional elegance.

“Deep crimson with aromas of satsuma plum, blackberry and boysenberry with hints of baking spice, salted licorice, dark chocolate, olive paste, cedar, roasting beef, turned earth, tobacco leaf and crème de cassis. Full bodied and fruit-pure with some nice minerally acid lift and velocity to the wine’s form; tannins silty and tight, and a finish that fades away with rich cassis and dark plum tones.”
