About Brokenwood Hunter Valley Shiraz 2022 750mL
Brokenwood's Hunter Valley Shiraz 2022 opens with a deeply expressive nose of dark plum, blackberry compote, and cracked black pepper, underscored by the region's signature earthy, leathery complexity. On the palate, this wine reveals its Hunter Valley heritage with supple, medium-full body and a silky texture that carries flavours of ripe mulberry, dark cherry, and subtle smoked meat, woven through with hints of dark chocolate and licorice. The tannins are fine-grained and well-integrated, supported by bright natural acidity that gives the wine freshness and structure. The finish is long, savoury, and satisfying, with lingering spice and a characteristic Hunter earthiness that speaks clearly of its terroir.
