Description

Top to bottom, red to white, Tyrrell's is an icon of Australian wine. It's perhaps more impressive that this Shiraz is such great value, considering all the awards and accolades their wines receive.

The Hunter Shiraz is classically medium-bodied, vibrant red-purple in colour, and just drinks beautifully. There's a good dollop of spice and earth, and an all-round 'this is a good wine' feel. Sometimes simplicity is key.

Sourced from mostly dry-grown vineyards from the Tyrrell's estate, average age around 40 years.

"A blend from the dry-grown Short Flat, Weinkeller, NVC and Old Hut Vineyards. Fabulous mid-palate density with excellent colour and framing tannin. It is a serious wine at an affordable price. Classical in structure with a perfect mix of bright fruit and savouriness."

Estate Grown Shiraz is a blend from our Short Flat, Weinkeller and NVC Vineyards. These dry grown blocks were planted in 1968, 1970 and 1996.
The 2022 vintage, in many ways, was a mirror of 2021. With above average rainfall in the winter months, the vines were set up perfectly for the growing season. Cooler temperatures over the summer period meant that there was no rush to begin harvest and we began about seven to 10 days later than normal. All of the fruit was in remarkable condition with intense fruit flavours coupled with high natural acidity.
The estate vineyards offered excellent quality crops in the cooler 2022 vintage, where the fruit had a longer than normal hang time, resulting in wonderful flavours balanced by a high natural acidity. Fermented in stainless steel open top vats, the fruit was destemmed but not crushed, ensuring as many whole berries as possible were in the fermenter. All blocks were fermented separately and matured in mostly newer large format French Oak (2,700L) and some barriques (225L) until November 2022, when they were blended to create the Estate Grown blend.
A modern, medium-bodied Australian Shiraz. The nose shows bright red fruits and savoury spice, which follows onto the palate. Primary, bright fruits balanced by soft, savoury tannins and a crunchy acidity adds to the wine’s complexity.

Tyrrell's

Established in 1858, Tyrrell's, an esteemed family-owned winery, holds a prominent place in Australia's viticultural history. Renowned for exemplary Shiraz, Semillon, and Chardonnay releases, the Tyrrell family safeguards the Hunter Valley's finest and oldest vineyards, upholding a legacy of quality winemaking. Chris Tyrrell, continuing the family tradition, ensures Tyrrell's remains a crucial pillar in the realm of Australian wine.

Embedded in the Hunter Valley's fabric, Tyrrell's, guided by founder Edward Tyrrell, pioneered Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, influencing the iconic Semillon style. Notably, their Vat 1 Semillon, Australia's most-awarded white wine, holds almost 5,500 medals and 330 trophies.

While honoring their heritage, the Tyrrells embrace innovation, staying at the forefront of the dynamic Hunter Valley. Fifth-generation winemaker Chris Tyrrell finds humility in working with his forefathers' vineyards. The family's commitment extends to future generations, evidenced by their participation in Australia's First Families of Wine. Guided by Edward Tyrrell's motto, "Nothing is great unless it is good," the Tyrrell legacy persists, passing the business to successive generations, balancing reverence for the past with a forward-looking perspective.
