The Brokenwood 2022 Cricket Pitch Red offers a vibrant and approachable Australian red blend, showcasing lively fruit flavours balanced with subtle oak influences. This vintage captures the essence of Hunter Valley winemaking with its smooth texture and versatile appeal for everyday enjoyment.

On the nose, this red wine greets you with inviting aromas of ripe red berries, including mulberries and raspberries, intertwined with hints of blackcurrant and a touch of vanilla from careful oak maturation. Subtle herbal notes reminiscent of eucalypt add a distinctly local character.

In the mouth, the Brokenwood Cricket Pitch Red 2022 delivers a medium-bodied palate with juicy dark fruit flavours, supported by fine tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the freshness. Layers of spice and a whisper of dark chocolate emerge mid-palate, leading to a clean, lingering finish that's perfect for pairing with barbecued meats or hearty pasta dishes.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this red blend slightly chilled to enhance its bright acidity and fruit-forward profile.
