Wine Summary Image

Winemakers Comments

The 39th release of this wine is a blend from a cooler Margaret River vintage, paired with an outstanding McLaren Vale season. Wonderful cassis fruit characters and rich in flavour with classic Cabernet aromatics. The blend for this wine is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot. The exceptional season in South Australia contributed to the higher percentage of Merlot compared to recent releases.

Vinification

The Margaret River component was machine harvested in the cool of the night, fermented in a closed top fermenter, pressed off skins and sent to the Hunter Valley post fermentation. The McLaren Vale component was also machine harvested, crushed and chilled to tanker in McLaren Vale. Vinomatic fermentation in the Hunter. Not overly worked, as soft tannins are required. Oak maturation in 100% French barriques for 18 months.

Food

Roast meats and strong cheese.

Drink

Drinking well now, a wine that will improve further with bottle age.

Winery Tasting Notes

Excellent colour with medium to deep density and purple hues. Lovely sweet cedar and blackcurrant notes from the Cabernet and background vanillin and nutmeg from the French oak. Sweet fruit up front on the palate with Turkish Delight and dark pastille flavours. Fine tannins carry to finish. An immensely enjoyable wine that will reward cellaring.

Winery Profile

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.
