The 2024 Brokenwood Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz is a prestigious single-vineyard Shiraz from the Hunter Valley, sourced from the 15-hectare Graveyard Vineyard originally planted in 1968 on heavy clay soils. The nose is beautifully fragrant with red raspberry, cherry and bramble fruit, layered with rose petals, red spice and subtle savoury notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet remarkably concentrated, with vibrant natural acidity and exceptionally fine, long tannins. The wine has a supple, flowing texture with red and dark fruit balanced by savoury spice, while maturation in French oak puncheons preserves freshness and vineyard character through an exceptionally long finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Shiraz drinkers who enjoy refined, medium-bodied reds with concentrated fruit, fine tannins and classic Hunter Valley savoury character. Enjoy it young with decanting or cellar for 15–20 years as further earthy and savoury complexity develops. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled beef, duck, venison or mushroom dishes.
