Jock Harvey's Story
Jock's story
"I grew up living on various farms that produced wine grapes. In my primary school days we lived on a farm next to a winery. I guess this planted the seed for my love of wine!
Later on, my dad started farming grapes and selling them off to a Co-op Winery. This is when I decided to go study Viticulture. The degree I did at University combined viticulture and wine. After learning more about wine, doing practicals and making experimental wine, I was then well and truly hooked.
What do I love about the job? Well, I love to create things and then see people enjoy it. The satisfaction of this makes all the effort worth the while.
Winemaking gives me an all round experience, with something new everyday. Your time is divided between office work (which is crap!), cellar work (which is great!) and farm/vineyards (which is also great!).
If any of them get under my skin, I move to the next one, and so on until I get everything done (or not as the case is sometimes...!)
There are of course a few other things which aren't so great about the job... snobbish wine critics and personalities for example! But without a doubt, the positives outweigh the negatives!"

Very smooth, easy drinking shiraz with bold dark fruit and a little spiciness and creaminess.

Thanks, Darren! Love hearing that you’re enjoying the Luna Shiraz—it’s all about that balance of bold fruit, spice, and smoothness. Cheers Jock

Dark raspberry fruit and a floral hint on the nose followed by a refined palate of crunchy red-berry fruit with notes of cacao, coffee, creamy vanilla, cracked pepper, mixed spice and a lick of savoury earthiness. Grabbed a bottle in the January sale, aerated for a couple hours and was a perfect match for a Burns night haggis, neeps and tatties. Top notch McLaren Vale shiraz at the price.

Tim, this might be one of the best food pairings we’ve heard yet! Haggis, neeps, and tatties with Luna Shiraz—that’s a Burns Night done right. Thanks for the detailed tasting notes and for sharing your experience. Cheers Jock

Really loved this wine. We bought it with our first case with Naked Wines, and made sure we ordered it again. It doesn't disappoint. It is to be drunk slowly. Just savour it on the palette before drinking.

Hey Robert, so glad the Luna Shiraz made such a strong first impression—and even better to hear it’s become a repeat favourite. Couldn’t agree more: it's one to sip slowly and savour every drop. Cheers to many more! 🙌😊

Spicy black and red fruits. A great match with barbecued steak and a dark beer BBQ sauce.
