✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Tyrrell's Vat 9 Shiraz represents the pinnacle of Hunter Valley winemaking, first crafted in 1962 by the legendary Murray Tyrrell. This iconic red is sourced exclusively from the estate's oldest and finest dry-grown vineyards, notably the Weeby and Short Flat blocks, which thrive on the region's distinctive red volcanic clay soils. Unlike the heavy, high-alcohol Shiraz styles found elsewhere in Australia, Vat 9 is celebrated for its medium-bodied elegance, savory complexity, and remarkable longevity. The winemaking honors tradition, utilizing open-top concrete fermenters followed by maturation in large, older French oak casks (foudres). This minimal-intervention approach ensures the pristine fruit, fine-grained tannins, and subtle earthy, peppery terroir of the Hunter Valley remain the undisputed stars of the show.
🍾 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.
