Wine Summary Image

Lifted aromas of dark cherry fruit and earthy/foresty characters from the whole berries included in the fermentation. Some vanillin oak in the background.

All these characters follow through to the palate and at 14.0% alcohol it has great balance. The palate is aided by dry savoury but ripe tannins giving a lingering finish. This wine will mature further although enjoyable as a rich young Pinot Noir.

Expert Reviews

Medium-deep ruby-purple in color, the 2010 Indigo Vineyard Pinot Noir reveals ripe cherry and fresh raspberry aromas with nuances of bay leaf, lavender, damp loam and girolles. The palate offers vibrant berry and earth flavors with refreshing acidity and a low to medium level of silky tannins, finishing long. Drinking now, it should cellar to 2015+.

Rating 88 - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, eRobertParker.com (JUN/2011)

Robust looking Pinot Noir – not a pale light dry red one! Great colour and youthful purple tints evident.

Aroma

Palate

All these characters follow through to the palate and at 14.0% alcohol it has great balance. The palate is aided by dry savoury but ripe tannins giving a lingering finish. This wine will mature further although enjoyable as a rich young Pinot Noir.

Winery Profile

At nearly 40 years young, Brokenwood Wines, in the heart of the Hunter Valley, can lay claim to not only an iconic vineyard with the Graveyard Vineyard but to the preservation of a wine fraternity that proudly has as its mission statement, 'to make great wine and have fun'.

The original land that was to become the Cricket Pitch Vineyard was purchased in 1970 and planted immediately to Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Graveyard Vineyard, planted to Shiraz in 1968, was bought in 1978 and by the mid 1980s was producing a premium Single Vineyard wine. The first Langton's Classification of Premium Australian Wine was launched in 1993 and the Graveyard Shiraz was then, and remains, the highest-placed Hunter Valley Shiraz.

The Hunter Valley is renowned for its dry table wines of Semillon and Shiraz. Brokenwood's production of these is further supported by premium grapes from as far afield as Orange, Beechworth and McLaren Vale.

Today, Brokenwood boasts an impressive array of premium quality wines, sourced from 'all the right regions, for all the right reasons', from the Graveyard Shiraz to the Cricket Pitch Sauvignon Blanc Semillon and Cricket Pitch Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot.

“Our philosophy is to produce wine that focuses on the unique regional characteristics of the Hunter Valley and premium wine regions throughout Australia.” Iain Riggs, Chief Winemaker & Managing Director, Brokenwood Wines.
