✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Brokenwood's Shiraz represents a classic, elegant expression of New South Wales viticulture, standing in graceful contrast to the blockbuster, high-alcohol styles found in warmer southern regions. Sourced from premium vineyards across New South Wales, including the historic Hunter Valley, this wine is crafted to highlight bright fruit purity and savory complexity. The region's unique climate—marked by warm summer days, high humidity, and cooling afternoon sea breezes—allows the grapes to ripen slowly, developing intricate flavors while retaining natural acidity. Brokenwood employs traditional winemaking techniques, including fermentation in open-top vessels and gentle maturation in a combination of new and older French oak casks. This careful oak regime ensures the wood complements rather than dominates the fruit, resulting in a medium-bodied red defined by red cherry, dark plum, cracked black pepper, and earthy, leathery undertones that reflect the historic Hunter style.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Brokenwood Wines blev grundlagt i 1970 af Sydney-advokaterne Tony Albert og John Beeston samt den anerkendte vinkritiker James Halliday, og det hele startede på en beskeden parcel på 10 acres i Pokolbin i New South Wales' Hunter Valley. Gennem årtier har vingården under ledelse af den erfarne direktør og chefvinmager Iain Riggs udviklet sig fra et passioneret weekendprojekt til en af Australiens mest prestigefyldte og toneangivende producenter. Brokenwood arbejder ud fra en filosofi om præcis, minimalistisk vinfremstilling, hvor terroiret og den rene druesortskarakter får lov til at skinne igennem – både i frugten fra egne marker i Hunter Valley og i nøje udvalgte parceller fra andre dele af Australien. Huset har opnået international anerkendelse for især sine sprøde, lagringsværdige Semillon-vine fra Hunter Valley og flagskibet Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz, side om side med populære hverdagsklassikere som den ikoniske Cricket Pitch-serie.
