The 2023 Brokenwood Hunter Valley Shiraz is a polished and elegant Shiraz that captures the signature style of the Hunter Valley. Sourced from Brokenwood's estate and managed vineyards, the wine offers lifted aromas of red berries, blackberry and plum, complemented by earthy notes, white pepper and a touch of subtle oak. Careful maturation in French oak adds texture while allowing the fruit to remain the focus.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine tannins, vibrant natural acidity and layers of ripe berry fruit, gentle spice and savoury complexity. The restrained oak influence provides balance and depth, leading to a long, refined finish that is fresh, silky and distinctly Hunter Valley in character.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Hunter Valley Shiraz for those who appreciate elegant, food-friendly reds with freshness and finesse. Enjoy now or cellar over the next 8–12 years. Pair with roast lamb, grilled beef, duck, mushroom dishes or aged cheddar.
