✨ Technical Specifications
The Stevens Single Vineyard Shiraz is a celebrated expression of the long-standing partnership between Tyrrell's and the Stevens family, who have tended this dry-grown vineyard in the Hunter Valley for decades. Situated on the valley floor, the vineyard is characterized by its unique soil profile of dark, sandy loam over red volcanic clay. This terroir yields a Shiraz of distinct personality, marked by savory complexity rather than sheer power. In the cellar, Tyrrell's employs traditional Hunter Valley methods, fermenting the hand-picked fruit in open-top vats and aging the wine in large, older French oak casks. This gentle treatment preserves the bright red fruit, white pepper, and earthy undertones, resulting in a medium-bodied, elegant red that beautifully reflects its historic origin.
🍾 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.
