Australian wine consumers are a fortunate bunch.\u00a0 Not only do we have a wide range of varietals to choose from, but we are blessed with remarkable quality for the prices we are asked to pay.\u00a0 And no more so than amongst our vigneron\u2019s Shiraz offerings where the Brockenchack Zip Line Shiraz 2014 is one of the year\u2019s standout value propositions.<\/p>\n
Selling at around $20 a bottle, the Zip Line is true to its Eden Valley heritage and is typically deep, dark and mysterious in the glass.\u00a0 The nose is raisinesque with hints of mocha and vanilla essence, yet on the palate, stewed raspberries and blackcurrant characters evolve and don a spicy cloak for the conclusion.\u00a0 It\u2019s a wine of surprising depth and presence which has adequate natural acidity to balance the generous fruit, and just enough oak exposure to provide a tannic backbone throughout.<\/p>\n
The French would never believe that our winemakers can put this type of wine on the table at the equivalent of \u20ac14 a bottle yet here in Australia, we tend to take this type of value proposition for granted.<\/p>\n
