Overview & Tasting Notes
Brokenback Shiraz has been designed to capture the essence of classic Hunter shiraz. Fruit for this wine is sourced from premium Hunter Valley vineyards that feature dry-grown, low yielding vines that are renowned for consistently producing ripe, concentrated fruit. This wine is a fine example of what can be achieved in the Hunter with high quality fruit and careful oak handling.

Accolades
-
90 Points - Pepper, some slight green herbal notes… along with bramble and red fruits and a touch of sulphide/earth complexity. It’s light to medium bodied, fresh and tangy, red fruited, almost crisp….but lively, long and good to drink. Time will not be its enemy. Regional and true.
-
89 Points & Recommended - This is a highly spicy and perfumed bouquet, with pepper, redcurrant and cranberry; light-bodied, with zesty acidity and a strong undergrowth bramble element; a fresh and lively young wine, best enjoyed in this manner.
-
4/5 Glasses - Regional Hunter shiraz oozes in spades here with leathery, flint and earthy aromatics leading into a deftly medium bodied wine. Subtle char-oak notes are woven into the experience which is about a balance of fruit, oak and sensitivity.
