Leogate Brokenback Hunter Valley Shiraz 2016

Established in 2009 by Bill and Vicki Widin, 5 Red Star Leogate Estate is barely 10 years old, but is already a formidable force. Their vines are much older - the Widins are proud owners of the original Brokenback Vineyard established by Rothbury Estate over 40 years ago. They’ve also recently acquired an organic Mudgee vineyard. As Halliday says, they’ve had “a string of wine show successes for their very impressive portfolio” . The Shiraz is a superb example of the classic Hunter Valley style, with elegant flavours of pepper, spice and layers of ripe berry and plum fruit flavours, fine tannins and a silky finish.
