2022 Brokenwood Hunter Valley Shiraz is a classic expression of Hunter Valley Shiraz, combining ripe fruit, savoury complexity, and elegant structure. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the Hunter Valley, this wine reflects the region’s distinctive style—balanced, medium-bodied, and built for both immediate enjoyment and graceful aging.
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby colour with vibrant crimson highlights. The nose is lifted and aromatic, offering aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and ripe plum, alongside notes of black pepper, dried herbs, and a touch of earthy spice.
On the palate, the wine is smooth and well-balanced, with flavours of blackberry, red plum, and dark cherry supported by subtle savoury elements of pepper, liquorice, and gentle oak. The tannins are fine and integrated, while the natural acidity brings freshness and structure. The finish is long, clean, and slightly savoury, with lingering notes of dark fruit and spice.
Approachable in its youth yet structured enough to evolve further, the 2022 Brokenwood Hunter Valley Shiraz will drink beautifully now and over the next 6–10 years. It pairs wonderfully with grilled steak, roast lamb, barbecue dishes, and aged cheeses, making it a versatile and classic Australian Shiraz.
