Red dry
An expressive and complex Australian Shiraz. It is made from the best and oldest Shiraz vineyard plots in the Heathcote region. The wine is valued for its complex structure and aging potential.
The wine's aromas vividly reveal notes of blackcurrant, cracked black pepper, smoked meat, and elegant oak. On the palate, intense accents of blueberry, dark chocolate, and sweet spices are felt. The finish is exceptionally smooth – silky tannins perfectly balance the long-lasting, complex taste.
Planted in 1994, the Heathcote vineyard stretches across the eastern slopes of Mount Camel. It is distinguished by an ancient, highly valued strip of Cambrian period soil. This unique soil is the hallmark of the region, giving the wine a special minerality and deep structure. For the creation of "Lunatiq" wine, only the harvests from the oldest and highest quality vineyard plots are carefully selected.
Serve at 16–18 °C with beef steaks, game stews, or hard, aged cheeses.
Founded in 1858 by English immigrant Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell's Wines is one of Australia's most famous family-owned wineries. The family's vineyards stretch from its historic home in the Hunter Valley near Sydney to the Limestone Coast and Heathcote. Run by fourth-generation family member Bruce Tyrrell, the winery produces some of Australia's most awarded wines, including the iconic "Vat 1 Semillon." The Hunter Valley's sandy, alluvial soil is ideal for white grape growing. There are 11 vineyards in the region that are more than 100 years old, 7 of which belong to the Tyrrell family. Tyrrell's is one of the founding members of Australia's First Families of Wine. Since 1971, Tyrrell's has won more than 5,000 trophies and medals, and was named Winery of the Year by James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion in 2010.

The "Shiraz" wines can also be aged, but their optimal drinking period depends on the specific vintage and style.
