DESCRIPTION
Tyrrell's Vat 8 Shiraz Cabernet 2021 revives a great Australian tradition: the blending of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, often referred to as the 'Great Australian Red'. For this vintage, Tyrrell's returns to a multi-regional approach, with the Shiraz sourced from the Ashmans vineyard in the Hunter Valley. It features 14% ABV, pH 3.44, and 7.67 g/L total acidity. Aging potential of 8 to 10 years.
On the nose, expressive, with aromas of ripe plum, dark fruits, dark berries, and chocolate, accompanied by fine notes of spice and discreet oak. On the palate, generous and well-structured, with ripe, supple fruit, firmer tannins, and a long, balanced finish. Pairs well with a grilled prime rib or a beef bourguignon.
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.
