The 2022 release relies heavily on dry-farmed heritage plots like Weinkeller and Short Flat, where the vines are a minimum of 50 years old and dug deep into red clay over limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tyrrell’s team are the undisputed masters of classic, mid-weighted Hunter Shiraz, and their work in 2022 is pure class. Handpicked and sorted in the vineyard, the distinct blocks were fermented in open-top vats before spending 14 months maturing in massive 2,700-litre French oak casks. This large-format wood approach ensures the vibrant fruit is never masked by heavy toast or sweet vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a complex, savoury nose of dark plum, cracked cacao, and a distinct rocky, earthy edge. On the palate, it delivers intense fruit without ever feeling thick or unctuous, with long-stretch tannins backed by a cool line of acidity that gives the wine superb lift and verve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This wine upholds its regal status as one of the finest reds from the region.
