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 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.
