99 Points James Halliday — Australia's Most Celebrated Single-Vineyard Hunter Valley Shiraz

The 2017 Brokenwood Graveyard Shiraz is the pinnacle of Hunter Valley Shiraz — a near-perfect-score wine from one of Australia's most singular and revered single-vineyard sites.

My Wine Man on Brokenwood

Brokenwood is one of Australia's most celebrated wineries — founded in the Hunter Valley in 1970 and best known for the Graveyard Vineyard, a tiny single-vineyard site that produces what many consider the finest Hunter Valley Shiraz. The Graveyard is an iconic name in Australian fine wine and tightly allocated through Brokenwood's mailing list.

Tasting Notes

Medium to deep crimson with bright Hunter Valley aromatics. Earthy plum, black cherry, leather, dried herbs, savoury spice and a fine mineral thread. The palate is medium to full-bodied with fine, silky tannins and a long, savoury finish of remarkable elegance. 99 Points — James Halliday.

Style & Drinking Window

Medium to full-bodied savoury Hunter Valley Shiraz. Drinking beautifully now and built to evolve through 2040+. Decant 1–2 hours.

Food Pairing

A 99-point Hunter Valley icon deserves a serious match. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Cape Grim Rib-Eye Steak from My Meat Man — dry-aged and char-grilled medium-rare with bone-marrow butter, a magnificent match for the Graveyard's earthy plum, leather and silky Hunter Valley tannins.
