Description
What kind of wine it is
Rock:it by JC’s Own is a red wine that expresses a full and bold character, the result of a low-intervention winemaking approach. It is a co-fermented blend in which Grenache, Shiraz, Mataro and Cinsaut varieties are integrated to give the palate a vibrant and deep structure. The absence of fining and the choice to bottle the wine unfiltered preserve the integrity of the aromatic profile and the natural consistency of the must. In the glass, it reveals itself as a wine with a direct and authentic taste, ideal for accompanying beef, lamb or mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This intense red originates in South Australia, carrying with it the expression of plots carefully selected by the producer JC’s Own. The grapes come from various renowned sites, including the areas of Angaston, Light Pass and Greenock, each dedicated to enhancing the characteristics of a specific variety. This multi-site management allows the territorial features to be blended into a single harmonious profile, clearly defining a regional picture and faithfully reflecting the authentic Australian identity through essential and attentive agricultural practices.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a manual harvest, organised so that the different varieties are picked within a very short time frame. The bunches are foot-trodden, followed by joint fermentation in concrete vats, a technique that allows the grapes to harmonise from the very first days. After gentle pressing with a basket press, the wine rests for nineteen months, alternating between oak barrels and concrete containers, a fundamental step to stabilise the substance and define the structure before final bottling.
History and Curiosities
The Rock:it 2018 by JC’s Own is a bold red that celebrates the artisanal winemaking of South Australia. This exclusive co-fermented blend of Grenache, Shiraz, Mataro and Cinsaut is made from hand-picked grapes from selected vineyards and traditionally foot-trodden. The full and assertive character of the grape varieties is harmonised within concrete vats, while the 19-month maturation between oak and concrete gives the wine a profound structure. Bottled without fining or filtration, it offers a vibrant sip that expresses the most authentic soul of the region.

Through all this and getting older and seemingly wiser, I have realised that wine is what you want it to be. For me, there is a time for fun, enjoyment and adventure. There is also the realisation that some exceptional vineyards need to be bottled. So you will see that in my JC's Own wines - some adventurously different wines in style and packaging and limited versions that pay homage to individual distinct sites worldwide."
