Brokenwood Indigo Vineyard Chardonnay 20

Wine Summary Image

Vinification

Whole bunch pressing, wild ferment in new French oak have come together in spectacular fashion. The wine was fermented in 30% new French oak and the balance older, from a variety of cooperages.

Winemaker Comments

The Indigo property has different soils, aspect, clones and vine age, but it is another great example of what this region can do for Chardonnay. We have minimum winemaker input to let the regional characteristics shine through. Sufficient winter rainfall in 2018 saw the vines off to a good budburst and crop set, then an unseasonable dump of 180mm of rain in 24 hours left us thinking we were in the Hunter. A very hot January followed which led to harvest commencing on the 17/2 under clear blue skies.

Expert Reviews

James Halliday

95 Points

Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented in French barriques and puncheons (30% new), matured for 7-8 months. A more cabernet sauvignon bouquet and more drive on the intense palate build on foundations of grapefruit and white peach fruit, sparkling acidity to close.

Winery Tasting Notes

Aroma

Bran meal and toast notes from the wild ferment and extended lees contact.

Palate

The crisp acidity and low alcohol makes for quite a zesty mouth feel. Grapefruit pith and rock melon carry through for a long finish.

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.
