Understanding Brokenwood, Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz, Hunter Valley, New South Wales

The Graveyard Vineyard, known for its ancient soils and unique microclimate, is the cornerstone of this exceptional Shiraz. The vineyard benefits from a combination of warm days and cool nights, creating optimal conditions for the development of the Shiraz grapes. These conditions contribute to the wine’s signature balance of ripe fruit flavours and natural acidity. In crafting the Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz, Brokenwood employs meticulous viticulture and winemaking techniques. The wine is cold-soaked to tease out flavour and colour then undergoes fermentation with a focus on preserving the intrinsic varietal characteristics. It then sees ageing in 100% French oak which is partly new. These stages add complexity and depth to the wine without overwhelming the natural flavours of the fruit. Brokenwood Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz features dark fruit coupled with spice, leather and earthy undertones in a well-structured palate with refined tannins. This wine has exceptional ageing potential.
