✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Tyrrell's 'Old Patch' Shiraz is sourced from a historic block of vines planted in 1867, making it one of the oldest continually producing, own-rooted vineyards in the world. Located in the Pokolbin sub-region of the Hunter Valley, these ancient, dry-grown vines thrive on a strip of rich, red volcanic basalt soil. The wine is a testament to traditional Hunter Valley winemaking, fermented in open-top oak vats and matured in large, older French oak casks (foudres) to allow the unique terroir and pure fruit expression to shine without being overshadowed by new wood. This legendary bottling is celebrated for its medium-bodied elegance, remarkable savory complexity, and silky tannins, representing a living piece of global viticultural history.
🍾 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.
