✨ Technical Specifications
The Beside Broke Road range by Tyrrell's pays homage to the winery's historic home on Broke Road in the Hunter Valley, yet for this expressive Shiraz, Tyrrell's sources fruit from select premium vineyards in Victoria. This geographical choice allows the winemakers to capture a more vibrant, dark-fruit-forward profile with the characteristic cool-climate spice of Victorian terroir. Crafted for immediate appeal and everyday enjoyment, the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel before undergoing brief maturation in seasoned French oak. This gentle oak treatment ensures the bright plum, blackberry, and cracked black pepper notes remain at the forefront, offering a beautifully balanced, medium-bodied expression of Australian Shiraz.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1858 by Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell's is one of Australia's oldest and most prestigious family-owned wineries, nestled against the Brokenback Range in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. Spanning five generations of family stewardship, the estate played a seminal role in shaping modern Australian viticulture, including pioneering the country's first commercial Chardonnay with the legendary Vat 47 in 1971. The winery remains dedicated to traditional, minimal-intervention winemaking and the preservation of historic, own-rooted old-vine parcels that yield exceptional regional character. Tyrrell's is internationally acclaimed for its benchmark Vat 1 Semillon, celebrated for its extraordinary longevity, as well as distinguished, elegant Hunter Valley Shiraz and sparkling wines.
