✨ Technical Specifications
While Tyrrell's is legendary for its historic Hunter Valley estates, the family has also looked to the premier red wine regions of South Australia to craft a bolder, more robust expression of Shiraz. This Reserve Shiraz represents a harmonious marriage between Tyrrell's historic winemaking pedigree—focused on balance and structure—and the rich, sun-drenched terroir of South Australia. Sourced from select premium vineyards, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by aging in seasoned oak barrels. This process tempers the intense, dark fruit profile of South Australian Shiraz with subtle spice, yielding a wine that is both generous and remarkably approachable.
🍾 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.
