Overview of the Wine
New World? Tyrrell's Wines produced their first vintage in 1864.
Located well in the heart of the Hunter Valley, the winery is better known today for continuing to produce arguably the region's best Semillon.
In 1858, Edward Tyrrell planted his first vines in the Hunter Valley. In 1959, Murray Tyrrell took control of the winery and started producing Tyrrell’s wines under their own labels. Tyrrell’s pioneered Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Australia and quickly received international recognition. While remaining a family company, Tyrrell’s has reached out to larger wine markets: in recent years, it has expanded its traditional Hunter Valley vineyard base to other famous vineyard areas in Australia.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Intense purple in color, lifted spice, and a pretty red berry nose with a subtle oak lift. The palate is medium bodied showing soft sweet fruits, subtle oak enhances the mid-palate which is complemented by the fine, clean acid structure, and long tannins. A classic Vat 9 that will have a long life in the cellar.
Lots of crushed berries with red earth, terra-cotta and hints of metal and blue fruit. Ferrous. Salt and white pepper. Some oyster shell, too. Full to medium body, bright fruit and lightly chewy yet polished tannins.
The 2018 Vat 9 Hunter Shiraz leads with a meaty yet fruit-forward nose redolent of raspberries and licorice, roasted meat crust and that silky ferruginous quality that Hunter Shiraz can achieve. The acidity is firm and bright. it has a chunky quality to it. 13.5% alcohol.
