Winery Tasting Notes

Colour:

Deep garnet red with tawny and brick-red hues at the rim, reflecting its extended bottle maturation.

Aroma:

Mature blackberry and dark cherry mingle with stewed plum, liquorice and smoky cedar. Layers of leather, earthy spice and savoury oak add complexity, while hints of dark chocolate and dried herbs bring warmth to the bouquet.

Palate:

Rich and concentrated, revealing dark plum, blackberry and black cherry supported by earthy spice, liquorice and savoury oak. The fruit carries a deep, almost brooding character, balanced by mature tannins and a rounded texture. Subtle notes of leather and dark chocolate emerge towards the finish, leaving a lingering impression of mature McLaren Vale Shiraz. The 1999 vintage earned major recognition at the 2001 International Wine Challenge in London, winning Best Red Wine of Show and Best Rhône Red Shiraz/Grenache.

Winery Profile

Brokenwood Wines has been named the 2026 Halliday Wine Companion Winery of the Year, one of the most respected honours in Australian wine.

At nearly 40 years young, Brokenwood Wines, in the heart of the Hunter Valley, can lay claim to not only an iconic vineyard with the Graveyard Vineyard but to the preservation of a wine fraternity that proudly has as its mission statement, 'to make great wine and have fun'.

The original land that was to become the Cricket Pitch Vineyard was purchased in 1970 and planted immediately to Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Graveyard Vineyard, planted to Shiraz in 1968, was bought in 1978 and by the mid 1980s was producing a premium Single Vineyard wine. The first Langton's Classification of Premium Australian Wine was launched in 1993 and the Graveyard Shiraz was then, and remains, the highest-placed Hunter Valley Shiraz.

The Hunter Valley is renowned for its dry table wines of Semillon and Shiraz. Brokenwood's production of these is further supported by premium grapes from as far afield as Orange, Beechworth and McLaren Vale.

Today, Brokenwood boasts an impressive array of premium quality wines, sourced from 'all the right regions, for all the right reasons', from the Graveyard Shiraz to the Cricket Pitch Sauvignon Blanc Semillon and Cricket Pitch Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot.

“Our philosophy is to produce wine that focuses on the unique regional characteristics of the Hunter Valley and premium wine regions throughout Australia.” Iain Riggs, Chief Winemaker & Managing Director, Brokenwood Wines.
