The 2021 Brokenwood Hunter Valley Shiraz is a classic expression of Hunter Valley Shiraz, showcasing elegance, savoury complexity and refined structure rather than sheer power. The nose reveals aromas of red cherry, blackberry and plum layered with white pepper, dried herbs, earthy spice and subtle oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and silky, with vibrant dark fruit, fine tannins and fresh acidity delivering balance and length. Savoury notes and gentle spice carry through a polished, food-friendly finish, highlighting the distinctive regional style Hunter Valley Shiraz is known for.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Australian Shiraz for customers who prefer elegance, freshness and savoury complexity over heavy richness. Smooth, refined and highly versatile, it pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses. Drink now or cellar confidently over the next 8–15 years.
