Expert Reviews

Concentrated and powerful, with scintillating vitality

97 Points

Light-mid yellow, bright and clear with a tint of green. Very fresh, vibrant citrusy aromas with a trace of smoky struck-flint reduction, happily restrained. The wine is tremendously intense in the mouth, concentrated and powerful, with scintillating vitality thanks to its acidity and brightness of fruit. Gorgeous lemon juice, grapefruit pith, citron and subtle chamomile aromas. It has outstanding line and length, refinement allied with intensity, fruit leading the charge and any artifact characters well in the background. It appears to have great potential for development with time. A stunning chardonnay.

Hand-picked fruit, whole-bunch pressed, wild-yeast fermented and matured for 10 months in French puncheons (4% new). The bouquet has the carefully calibrated touch of funk used in some (though not all) of its chardonnays, translating to green grapefruit zest/pith/juice as a background for the white peach and cashew.

Flavoursome, flinty, fleshy and complete.

95 Points

Marvellous chardonnay. Flavoursome, flinty, fleshy and complete. Stonefruits and white flowers, cedarwood and meal, a quartz-like aspect and plenty of struck match. But harmonious at every single turn. And then there’s the finish, which is seriously well sustained. One sip and I was convinced. The score could well be stingy.

Winery Tasting Notes

Perfect green tinted colour and a sure sign of careful fruit and oak management. Aromas of grapefruit and white stonefruits with lifted toasted cashew notes from the French oak. Grapefruit pith and white nectarine carry through for a long, balanced finish. A fine textured palate with bright citrus acidity. One of the best Indigo Vineyard Chardonnays.

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.

Should drink beautifully for the following five to six years, possibly considerably more.

93 Points

Aussie winelovers need little prompting when it comes to elite Chardonnay from the Beechworth region which is home to some of our very best. This wine, mostly from the Mendoza clone, sees whole bunch pressing and a wild yeast ferment in new French oak, which is mostly 500-litre puncheons. A lean, pale yellow hue, this is obviously still very young, indeed almost raw, but it is certainly coming together. We have notes of citrus and cashews, with melon and peach. A minerally backing, juicy acidity and impressive length. This will be better in 12 months and should drink beautifully for the following five to six years, possibly considerably more.

Poised and effortlessly drinkable

93 Points

The sort of wine that unravels with air, from a torque of initial restraint, to a more open weave. Fine contemporary chardonnay, delivered with a cooler climatic edge and Australia's typical clarity of fruit and suffusion of tension. Granitic. Sub-alpine. A meld that delivers gentle stone fruit allusions, kumquat and a seam of oak, impeccably integrated. A little short, but poised and effortlessly drinkable. This will fill out with mid-term ageing. Drink or hold.
