✨ Technical Specifications
While Brokenwood is deeply rooted in the Hunter Valley, their exploration of South Australia's cooler viticultural regions allows them to craft a highly expressive Pinot Gris. This wine strikes a beautiful balance between the textured, rich Alsace style and the vibrant, crisp Italian Pinot Grigio style. Sourced from premium cool-climate vineyards, the fruit is carefully handled to preserve its delicate aromatic profile. Fermentation typically occurs in stainless steel tanks to maintain the pristine fruit character, resulting in a wine celebrated for its luscious pear, stone fruit, and soft spice notes, backed by a refreshing acidity.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1970 by Sydney lawyers Tony Albert, John Beeston, and acclaimed wine critic James Halliday, Brokenwood Wines began on a modest 10-acre block in Pokolbin within the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. Guided for decades by veteran managing director and chief winemaker Iain Riggs, the estate evolved from a passionate weekend venture into one of Australia's most prestigious and benchmark wine producers. Brokenwood embraces a philosophy of precise, low-intervention winemaking designed to let terroir and varietal clarity shine across both estate-grown Hunter Valley fruit and carefully selected parcels across Australia. The winery has achieved global acclaim particularly for its crisp, cellar-worthy Hunter Valley Semillons and its flagship Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz, alongside popular lifestyle bottlings like the iconic Cricket Pitch label.
