Wine Summary Image

Brokenwood’s fourth release of Murrumbateman Shiraz from the Four Winds Vineyard. This small, cool climate viticultural region is half way between Canberra and Yass and the home of some very fine wineries such as Clonakilla and Helm.

As well as spicy Shiraz, the area has been making a name for itself with racy, slatey Rieslings. Average rainfall for 2015, then a dry start to summer. A very stormy January with nearly all the 200mm falling in this month. February back to hot and dry with temperature above average but cool nights. Vines health and overall quality was high.

NSW - Canberra District

Expert Reviews

This and the Beechworth cuvee are of the same brethren. This, though, is founded on a skein coffee grind tannins and brisk, transparent acidity. Less reductive. Suave. Purple florals and a skitter of flavour across the sappy length.

Winery Tasting Notes

Excellent colour of deep red and purple hues. A fragrant Shiraz with the aromas on the red spice side – ginger and paprika. Flavours of white pepper as well as the red fruits make for a flavoursome Shiraz. Perfectly ripe tannins from the grape skins plus oak and stalk tannin, give this wine superb length. Enjoy over the medium term.

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.
