✨ Tekniske specifikationer

While Brokenwood is deeply rooted in the Hunter Valley, their curiosity and pursuit of exceptional terroir led them to Western Australia's prestigious Margaret River. The 'Wildwood Road' Cabernet Sauvignon represents this exploration, sourcing fruit from the cooler, northern reaches of the region along the iconic Wildwood Road. This area is celebrated for its gravelly loam soils and strong maritime influence from the Indian Ocean, which tempers the afternoon heat. Brokenwood applies its signature minimal-intervention winemaking philosophy to this fruit, utilizing traditional open-top fermenters and French oak maturation. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Margaret River Cabernet, characterized by leafy herbaceous notes, bright cassis, and structured, fine-grained tannins that reflect the ancient soils of the West.

🍾 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.
