Warm, complex, earthy spice tones with a lovely richness. Powerful yet elegant and ageing beautifully.

Graveyard Vineyard is the jewel in the Brokenwood crown, responsible for the company's flagship wines. The vineyard was planted with Shiraz vines in 1970 - extremely heavy clay soils, yields are low, but fruit flavour is intense through employment of meticulous vinification techniques. Strong lifted aromas of sweet earth and dark cherry greet the olfactory senses. Oak features, but will soften and integrate given some patience. Initial flavours of dark chocolate and ripe plums are beautifully lashed to ripe tannins lending an edge of cedar.

Henschke Mount Edelstone is one of the most important single vineyard sites in Australia. The 90 year old vines has been producing a single vineyard Shiraz since 1952 and is one of Australia's truly great wines. The nose has sweet ripe plum and blueberry aromas and the palate is intense and deeply flavoured. While enjoyable upon release, this is a wine that will enjoy a decade or more in the cellar.

The Dow's 1977 vintage from Douro, Portugal is a testament to the mastery of winemaking by the Symington Family Estates. This wine exudes a deep ruby hue, hinting at its age while still maintaining a vibrant appearance. The bouquet is powerful, with aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and a touch of cedar. On the palate, this port is full-bodied and rich, with flavours of black cherry, dark chocolate, and a subtle smokiness. The tannins are firm yet refined, providing structure and balance to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving behind traces of dried fruits and a touch of spice. This is a true classic vintage port, with the potential to continue ageing gracefully for decades to come. Enjoy this magnificent wine with a rich chocolate dessert or a selection of fine cheeses.
