Brokenwood Graveyard Vineyard Hunter Valley Shiraz 2006 Red Wine 75cLBy Winebuyers

1 x 75cl. The producer, Brokenwood, was established in 1970 by three lawyers who became friends over drinking fine wines. The original 4.5-hectare block was planted to Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines quickly developed a strong following, and six new partners joined in 1978, allowing the purchase of the block adjoining the winery, the Graveyard Vineyard. Not actually a graveyard, but a plot that was destined by the local council to be the local graveyard. Planted on deep clay soils, the wines showed amazing depth and concentration from the very first vintage. The wines' popularity and subsequent growth in production saw the arrival of a full-time winemaker, in the early 1980s, along with new equipment, and the release of a Semillon. This unisex wine is a 2006 Shiraz from the Hunter Valley.
