Our Review
Laughing Jack is owned by Shawn and Briony Kalleske, with brothers Nathan and Damon Kalleske. The 3 estate vineyards in Marananga, Greenock and Moppa are primarily planted to shiraz, with lesser amounts of semillon and grenache. Vine age varies considerably, with old, dry-grown shiraz the jewel in the crown. As any Australian knows, the kookaburra is also called the laughing jack, and there is a resident flock of kookaburras in the stands of blue and red gums surrounding the vineyards. -JAMES HALLIDAY
