Ripe red and black fruits happily filling the palate. Pure ripe plum and black with soft chocolate and vanilla notes.
Our 2021 Zip Line Shiraz is created to be enjoyable upon release, and this year is no exception. Seasonal conditions were favourable for Eden Valley Shiraz, creating a bright ruby-coloured wine showing ripe fruit and subtle floral aromatics. Restrained use of oak allows the fruit to lead the way, with ripe red and black fruits happily filling the palate in an effortlessly luscious style. The pure ripe plum and black fruits are instantly mouth-filling, with soft chocolate and vanilla notes all wrapped up in excellent tannin grip – and length for miles.
Our Zip Line Shiraz is named after the zip line cable at our vineyard which generates endless laughter for all generations of the family – and much like this wine, it’s a smooth ride to the end. Our Zip Line Shiraz is made from our Eden Valley single vineyard Shiraz grapes, plucked from a combination of our older vines with an average vine age of 60 years, to give depth and complexity, and from our younger vines planted in 2008, to give fruit freshness and vibrancy.
Silver – 2024 London Wine Competition
“Good complexity with ripe blackberry and red plum on nose. Concentrated flavours of black fruit along with a hint of oak flavour. Structured with high acidity, soft tannins and a long finish.”
