Founded in 1970 as a hobby venture by three Sydney-based solicitors - Tony Albert, John Beeston and Australian wine critic James Halliday - Broken wood is perhaps best known for their Cricket Pitch label, which was first sourced from a 4-hectare block at the foothills of the Hunter Valley's Brokeback Ranges. The block was originally earmarked as the local cricket ground before they decided to plant a vineyard instead. Similarly, Broken wood purchased their neighbouring block, which was intended to be the local cemetery, and instead planted Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The resulting production became their critically acclaimed flagship wine, the Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz.
