DESCRIPTION
Tyrrell's Vat 8 Shiraz Cabernet 2019 is a blend of 90% Shiraz and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the Shiraz sourced from the Ashmans and Moon Mountain vineyards and the Cabernet from Pokolbin Hills Estate. The 2019 vintage in the Hunter Valley, high quality and stellar, follows the 2018 in remarkable fashion. Dry conditions slightly reduced yields, producing fruit in perfect condition. Separate fermentation and aging before blending. Aged in 225L French barriques (30% new). It features 13.5% ABV. Aging potential of 8 to 10 years.
On the nose, aromatic herbal notes, cedar, redcurrant, cranberry, and touches of pencil shavings. On the palate, a silky entry with liquorice, ripe and slightly candied red fruits, and velvety tannins carrying a long herbal finish. Bordeaux-like style. Pairs well with a grilled prime rib or a leg of lamb.
REGION
Hunter Valley
Australia
The Hunter Valley is the iconic wine region of New South Wales and one of the oldest in Australia. This is where the story of Australian wine began in the 19th century, and where a unique tradition lives on. The region is especially famous for two styles that have become classics: oak aged Chardonnay and dry, bright, taut Sémillon.
Produced since the 1870s, Hunter Valley Sémillon is seen as the purest expression of the grape in the New World. The best examples, such as those from Tyrrell's, are known for their crystalline freshness when young and their incredible ageing potential, developing notes of honey, toast and beeswax over time.

A profile that is somewhat reminiscent of Bordeaux, between cedarwood, redcurrant, and a fresh finish.
