The 2024 Brokenwood Hunter Valley Shiraz is a vibrant and medium-bodied expression of one of Australia’s most distinctive Shiraz regions. Rather than relying on sheer weight, Hunter Valley Shiraz is known for its savoury complexity, bright acidity and fine structure. The 2024 vintage opens with aromas of red plum, blackberry and dark cherry alongside notes of black pepper, dried herbs and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is smooth and finely balanced, with soft tannins, fresh acidity and a long, savoury finish. Flavours of red and dark berry fruit are complemented by hints of spice, earth and gentle oak, creating a wine that is approachable in its youth while retaining the structure for further development. The warm Hunter Valley climate contributes ripe fruit character, while careful winemaking preserves freshness and regional character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Shiraz for customers seeking a more elegant and food-friendly Australian style with balance and versatility. Drinking beautifully now, though it will continue to evolve over the next 6–10 years. Ideal with grilled lamb, roast beef, barbecue dishes or slow-cooked beef recipes.
