The Brokenwood Cricket Pitch Red 2022 is a delightful blend of grapes from South Eastern Australia. The nose is greeted with aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a smooth texture and a lovely balance of fruit and oak. Juicy flavours of dark berries, cherries, and a touch of vanilla dance on the tongue, leading to a long, satisfying finish. The wine has a deep, ruby colour with a slight purple hue, indicating its youthfulness. Crafted by the renowned Brokenwood Wines of South Australia, this vintage beautifully showcases the region's terroir and the winery's expertise. Perfect for sipping on its own or accompanying a hearty meal, the Cricket Pitch Red 2022 is a true testament to the quality and craftsmanship of Brokenwood Wines.

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit
The wine combines ripe fruit intensity with savoury nuances, showing dark plum, blackcurrant, tapenade, nutmeg and rich floral aromas. The palate delivers succulent fruit intensity, together with fine texture and well-pitched tannins, making it harmonious with a lingering, structured finish.
Winemakers Notes
The 32nd vintage of Cricket Pitch Red (not counting the 1986) is both multi-varietal and multi-regional. Just on 74% coming from New South Wales with the balance being Beechworth and Margaret River. The varietal breakdown is Cabernet Sauvignon 88%, Shiraz 11% and Merlot 1%. A good vintage across all regions in 2022 producing ripe, fine tannins with sweet mid-palate fruit.
