✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Tyrrell's Long Flat Red is one of Australia's most historic and iconic everyday red blends. First released in 1966 by the legendary Murray Tyrrell, it was created to offer an approachable, easy-drinking, and affordable red wine that captured the sunshine of New South Wales. Named after a flat paddock near the historic Pokolbin homestead, this wine played a pivotal role in introducing generations of Australians to red wine. Historically crafted as a classic Australian blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, it combined the spicy, soft plum characters of Shiraz with the structure and blackcurrant notes of Cabernet. Though the brand was eventually sold in the 2000s, its legacy remains as a pioneer of the modern, fruit-forward Australian red blend style.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Tyrrell's blev grundlagt i 1858 af Edward Tyrrell og er et af Australiens ældste og mest prestigefyldte familiedrevne vinhuse, smukt beliggende for foden af Brokenback Range i Hunter Valley i New South Wales. Vinhuset har været i familiens hænder i fem generationer og har spillet en skelsættende rolle i udviklingen af moderne australsk vinavl. Det var blandt andet her, landets første kommercielle Chardonnay så dagens lys med den legendariske Vat 47 i 1971. Vingården er fortsat dedikeret til traditionelle vinifikationsmetoder med minimal intervention samt bevarelsen af historiske, rodægte vinstokke, der giver vine med en enestående regional karakter. Tyrrell's er internationalt anerkendt for sin ikoniske Vat 1 Semillon, der er berømt for sit fantastiske lagringspotentiale, såvel som for sine elegante, karakterfulde Hunter Valley Shiraz-vine og mousserende vine.
