The Story
A quintessential Hunter Valley medium-bodied Shiraz with a very appealing, medium-density colour and youthful purple tint on the rim. The nose is fragrant with lifted red fruit, pastille and subtle spice aromas. Ripe cherry flavours and soft tannins feature on the palate with a fine, long finish. A perfect Hunter Valley Shiraz for the medium to long term.
Wine Information
Brokenwood has managed the Mistress Block Vineyard and made wine from it since the late 1980s. The vineyard is now owned by Iain Riggs AM and Sally Margan, with the vines well over 50 years old and planted on a steep, east-facing slope. It is a perfect site to avoid the hot summer heat. The dark loam soil absorbs the heat, and the grapes are in shade for the latter part of the afternoon.
