Brokenwood Hunter Valley Shiraz 375mL - from $21.99 a bottle

In their words - Lovely mid-depth colour with purple tints. Lifted red fruit and earthy notes on the nose. Ripe fruit and low oak impact on the palate, with the new oak providing a slight vanillin sweetness complimenting the berry fruit. The ripe fruit tannins are complimented by the natural fruit acidity to give a very long finish to the wine. Typical medium bodied Hunter Valley Shiraz from a very good year.
