Tasting Note

Leafy berry aromas are to the fore, due to the wine being majority Cabernet Sauvignon. A lovely mid-depth colour with youthful tints. Ripe Cabernet fruit complemented by the plush softness of the Merlot component. Fine long tannins and acid line will see this age well over the medium term. A lovely drinking wine as always.

Product Notes

Brokenwood Cricket Pitch Red is a bold and rich red blend from the Hunter Valley region of Australia. This wine is predominantly made up of Shiraz, with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, resulting in a complex and well-balanced wine with a smooth finish. On the nose, aromas of dark berries, vanilla, and spice are present, while the palate is full-bodied and bold with flavors of black currant, plum, and dark chocolate. The tannins are firm but not overpowering, making it a great pairing with bold meats like steak or lamb. With its intense flavor profile, Brokenwood Cricket Pitch Red is a perfect choice for those looking for an easy-drinking yet complex wine.

About the Winery

Considered as one of the best wines crafted from Australia, Brokenwood Wines is a premium wine brand that was established in 1970. Due to its popularity, today, it is one of the must-visit places in Hunter Valley. It was between 1970 and 1972 that three Sydney solicitors, Tony Albert, John Beeston and James Halliday, formed the Brokenwood Wines brand. They first planted their vines in a 10-acre plot located at the backdrop of the Brokenback Ranges.
