DESCRIPTION
Tyrrell's Single Vineyard Old Hillside Shiraz 2023 comes from a historic vineyard located in Pokolbin within the Hunter Valley. The site is home to the famous Old Patch block planted in 1867, but this cuvée is sourced from younger vines, averaging 50 years of age. Planted on a steep, east-facing hillside and protected by the Brokenback Mountains. It features 13.5% ABV, pH 3.44, and 6.22 g/L total acidity. Aging potential of 10 to 15 years.
On the nose, bright red fruits, with notes of raspberry, cranberry, and a mineral dimension. On the palate, slender and pure, medium-bodied, driven by luminous red fruit, fine tannins, and a saline finish. Pairs well with grilled red meats or a roasted lamb with herbs.
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 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.
