Tasting Notes:

Lifted dark cherry and ripe blackberry aromas. Rich in flavour, the fine tannins from the fruit and oak balances the sweet fruit. This distinctive Brokenwood style Shiraz showcases the unique characteristics of the McLaren Vale region.

Technical:

Established in 1970, Brokenwood Wines has evolved from a weekend venture for self-professed hobby winemakers into one of Australia’s most reputable wine labels.

Brokenwood was founded by a trio of Sydney-based solicitors, Tony Albert, John Beeston and James Halliday, who paid a then record price of $970 per acre for a 10-acre block in the foothills of the Brokenback Ranges. The original block was destined to be a cricket ground for the local community but was instead planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

The first vintage was picked in 1973 and while none of the original partners claimed to know anything about viticulture, the wine received praise, and attracted a loyal following from the first vintage.

It was a labour of love for the partners, and the friends and family they conscripted to help who were seduced by the promise of clean country air, fine wine, food and company in exchange for help on the vineyard. Everyone pitched in to pick the grapes which were carried to the winery in buckets in the back seat of Len Evans’ Bentley. Weary bodies were put up in dorm-style accommodation which still remains today.

Accolades & Awards:

94 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion

60% McLaren Vale, 25% Hunter Valley, 15% estate-grown, matured in French oak (25% new). This is no hit and giggle stuff, with the regional blends of the â€˜50s made by Colin Preece of Seppelt and Roger Warren of Hardys. The intensity of the flavours of dark fruits and bitter chocolate startling. Pair it with the largest piece of rib eye steak served rare on the bone.
