Wine Summary Image

Along with clonal selected cuttings, we now have Selection Massale Shiraz. These cuttings were taken from the Graveyard, Rayner and Wade Block 2 vineyards and Seville Estate. We had enough fruit to vinify as separate batches and then each barrel tasted to give a final small bottling of our Indigo Vineyard Shiraz.

Every wine country and region has an ongoing debate over the pros and cons of selection massale versus clonal selection. The latter gives a vineyard of identical genetic make-up as opposed to the historic but random nature of the grape genetic material in massale. In Beechworth, two things really stand out, the consistent high quality of the grapes as the vines approach 20 years, and the stability of the weather. Very good winter rain was received in 2016 followed by a fine dry summer. Picking got underway two weeks later than in 2016.

Expert Reviews

Matured in a new 2800l French cask for 12 months. Medium to full-bodied; the very complex bouquet reflects the oak, but not at the expense of the luscious black fruits, with a garland of charcuterie and all-important tannins. Will go the distance and then some.

-James Halliday

Winery Tasting Notes

A youthful, medium to full density colour which is pleasing to the eye. Red fruit and ginger notes from the 30% whole bunch fermentation. Dark chocolate flavours on the initial palate over very fine tannins. The French oak

compliments the sweet fruit and the long soft finish makes for a very enjoyable Shiraz in the short term but also long 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.
