The zip line cable ride at our vineyard generates endless laughter for all generations of the family – and much like this wine, it’s a smooth ride to the end.
Our 2022 Zip Line Shiraz is made from a grower in the Barossa Valley (75%) our Eden Valley single vineyard Shiraz grapes. From our vineyard, these were 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.
Created for immediate enjoyment, our 2022 Zip Line Shiraz captures the essence of the Barossa with its vivid ruby hue and expressive aromatics. Notes of ripe red and black fruits mingle with delicate floral rose hints, delivering a bouquet that’s both vibrant and inviting.
Minimal oak influence ensures the purity of our Shiraz shines through, leading to a palate that is effortlessly lush and fruit-forward.
A ripe, finely textured tannin structure provides a soft, lingering mouthfeel – a hallmark of this beautifully balanced 2022 vintage.
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.”
