DESCRIPTION
Tyrrell's Hunter Valley Shiraz 2021 is produced from a selection of the estate's finest blocks, most of which average 40 years of vine age. The 2021 fruit was perfect at the time of harvest. After fermentation, the wine was aged in old 2700-liter French oak casks that showcase the purity of the fruit without oak becoming the dominant character. It features 13.5% ABV, pH 3.45, and 6.37 g/L total acidity. Aging potential of 3 to 5 years.
On the nose, bright red fruits and spices. On the palate, lively and balanced by supple and savory tannins, accompanied by a crunchy acidity that enhances the wine's complexity. Pairs well with a game terrine or pasta with a spicy tomato sauce.
Tyrrell's, with a 160-year winemaking tradition, is led by Bruce Tyrrell (fourth generation) and Jane, John, and Chris (fifth generation) in the Hunter Valley. Their exceptional 108-hectare vineyard is home to 7 of the region's 11 oldest ungrafted blocks.
REGION
Hunter Valley
Australia
The Hunter Valley is the flagship wine region of New South Wales and one of the oldest in Australia. It is here that the story of Australian wine began in the 19th century—and where a unique winemaking tradition continues to thrive. The region is especially renowned for two iconic styles: oak-aged Chardonnay and dry, vibrant, and taut Semillon.
The latter, produced since the 1870s, is considered the purest expression of the grape variety in the New World. The best Hunter Valley Semillons, such as those from Tyrrell’s, are known for their crystalline freshness in their youth and their remarkable ageing potential, developing notes of honey, toast, and beeswax over time.
