The Brokenback Vineyard, Pokolbin, was planted in the 1970's by a visionary group led by the late, legendary, Len Evans, AO, OBE. Over the ensuing years the vines have produced premium wines under a variety of labels. In 2008 the vineyard then in two parts, was purchased privately and amalgamated.
Our Brokenback Shiraz is a rich and flavoursome wine and a classic in our range. Typical of this vineyard, the wine displays pepper, spice and layers of ripe red berry fruit flavours. With a refined tannin structure and subtle French oak characters, the seamless palate is complex and persistent.
Cellaring : Drinking well now or gain rewarding bottle age complexity with careful cellaring up to 10 years.
Appearance: Deep red in colour with a bright purple hue.
Bouquet: A fragrant bouquet of raspberry red fruit with a touch peppery spice.
