About this product
Brokenwood Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz is Hunter Valley's most celebrated red wine: single-vineyard Shiraz from red volcanic soil on the Graveyard site, produced only in exceptional years. Deep ruby with classic Hunter character: earthy dark fruit, tar, leather, fresh herbs, and a mineral complexity that distinguishes Hunter Shiraz from Barossa's opulent power. The wine is medium-bodied compared to Barossa — elegant, aromatic, and age-worthy over 15-25 years. One of Australia's most allocated and collected Shiraz wines.

Brokenwood Graveyard's Hunter Shiraz earthiness and leather character achieves a natural pairing with roasted lamb — the wine's medium body is precisely calibrated for lamb's richness without the grip of Barossa Shiraz. Rosemary bridges the Hunter's herbaceous dimension; garlic jus amplifies the wine's earthy depth; soft polenta provides the gentle starchy base the wine's elegant tannin integrates into seamlessly.

complement
Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz's earthy, tar-and-leather Hunter character finds an unexpected but profound match with truffle risotto — the wine's earthy depth amplifies the truffle's intensity while the Shiraz's dark fruit provides the fruity counterpoint. Aged Parmesan's umami complexity bridges wine and food; the risotto's starchy richness integrates the wine's tannin. A pairing that reveals Hunter Shiraz's affinity with earthy, umami-rich foods.
