The Brokenwood Graveyard Shiraz is the flagship wine of the estate and the Graveyard vineyard the jewel in it`s crown. With heavy clay soils the harvest yiels are low but the flavour of the grapes in intense and concentrated. 2003 saw bushfires raging in the Hunter Valley but luckily the vineyard escaped damage, even more so because this was a great although extremely limited vintage. Beautiful deep red in colour with, classic aromas of a muscular Hunter Valley Shiraz; Charry briar wood, clove, red cherry, vanillin and aok. The palate is weighty with initially grippy tannins but then red berry spice and damson jam flavour s combined with herby savoury hints in the rich finish. www.brokenwood.com.au 100% Shiraz A glorious rich anf full flavoured Shiraz to pair with beef, lamb, and barbecued meat dishes, particularly those with spiced glazes or marinades. Also a great pair for a SUnday roast with all the trimmings and dishes of north African style. |
