Brockenchack Zip Line Shiraz 2021

The Brockenchack Zip Line Shiraz 2021 is an expressive and inviting wine from the Eden Valley in South Australia, crafted with both seasoned wine enthusiasts and those new to Shiraz in mind. The 2021 vintage showcases the exceptional quality of fruit from Brockenchack’s single vineyard, blending older vines for depth and complexity with younger vines for fresh, vibrant fruit character.

Nose: The nose opens with a captivating array of ripe red and black fruits, including plum, blackberry, and raspberry, all underpinned by subtle floral notes of violets. There’s a gentle backdrop of fine French oak, imparting hints of vanilla and soft spice that enhance the wine's aromatic complexity.

Palate: On the palate, the wine is soft, luscious, and beautifully balanced, with the ripe fruit flavours taking centre stage. The black fruits are complemented by a whisper of chocolate and vanilla, while the tannins are finely grained, providing structure without overpowering the fruit. The use of restrained oak allows the fruit to shine, creating a harmonious and enjoyable drinking experience.

Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with the ripe fruit and subtle oak spices lingering on the palate, leaving a smooth, lasting impression.

The Brockenchack Zip Line Shiraz 2021 is a versatile wine that pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes, from barbecued meats to rich, savoury stews. Its balance of fruit intensity and smooth tannins makes it an excellent choice for immediate enjoyment, while its structure suggests it will continue to develop with a few more years in the bottle.
