Brockenchack Jack Harrison Shiraz 2018

The Brockenchack Jack Harrison Shiraz 2018 is a powerful and expressive single-vineyard wine from Eden Valley, South Australia. Named after the grandson of the winery's founders, this Shiraz is crafted from vines over 50 years old, capturing the depth and character of the region's terroir. The 2018 vintage stands out for its rich concentration of flavours and its ability to age gracefully over the next decade.

Nose: The wine opens with an intense and complex bouquet of dark berries, including blackberries and blackcurrants, complemented by notes of animal hide, warm earth, and dark chocolate. Hints of black olives, cloves, and a smoky roast meat undertone add further depth, creating an inviting and multifaceted nose.

Palate: On the palate, the Jack Harrison Shiraz is robust and full-bodied, with a dense core of black fruit flavours. The firm tannins are well-structured, providing a solid backbone that balances the rich fruit intensity. The palate also reveals layers of savoury notes, including sage and herbaceous nuances, which are well-integrated with the wine's silky texture and long finish.

Finish: The finish is long and persistent, with the dark fruit and savoury elements lingering elegantly on the palate. The wine's excellent balance and length make it a standout example of Eden Valley Shiraz.

This wine is already drinking beautifully but will continue to evolve and develop further complexity with careful cellaring, reaching its peak between 2025 and 2035.
