I love this! A hark to the past as a harbinger of the present.

About The Wine
The greatest Hunter Valley red wines of the 1950s and 1960s were traditionally blends of Shiraz and Pinot Noir.
These light dry reds have become the things of legend, finding amazing balance at low alcohols and living well into their fifth and sixth decade in the cellar.
Here is the Tyrrell family homage to this historic local wine style. The sturdy earthiness of Hunter Shiraz brightened by the lively aromatics of Pinot Noir make a formidable team, and they're a winning combination.
About Tyrrell's
Tyrrell's is one of Australia's oldest and most prestigious family-owned wineries.
With a rich, decorated history stretching back to 1858, the Tyrrell family are custodians of some of the finest (and oldest) vineyards in the Hunter Valley, and indeed, the world.
Their top releases of Shiraz, Semillon, and Chardonnay are highly collectable and considered by many as some of the truest regional examples of these varieties.
As the talented Chris Tyrrell takes his place in the cellar, just as four generations of Tyrrell men have before him, this family institution is set to remain one of the most important bastions of quality Australian wine for many years to come.
