✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Lost Block' legend began during a hectic harvest when a parcel of fruit was temporarily forgotten in the vineyard, only to be rediscovered later, yielding an unexpectedly superb wine. This happy accident inspired a dedicated range focused on vibrant, fruit-forward, and highly approachable styles. For the Lost Block Shiraz, Tyrrell's sources premium fruit from select Victorian vineyards, capturing the region's signature plushness and spice. Matured in seasoned oak to preserve its bright, juicy red and black fruit characters, this Shiraz emphasizes soft tannins and an easy-drinking, generous palate.
🍾 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.
