The Old Hillside vineyard on Marrowbone Road, Pokolbin was purchased by the Tyrrell family in December 2017. This vineyard contains the ‘Old Patch’. The Old Hillside Shiraz comes from the younger vines on the vineyard, which have an average age of 50 years.
The 2019 vintage in the Hunter Valley was another high quality year across all varieties. The fruit was handpicked and sorted in the vineyard before fermentation took place in our open-top vats. After fermentation, the wine was matured for 14 months in mostly newer 2500L French oak casks.
A well-balanced, elegant style that shows good balance between vibrant fruit and savoury spice, along with classic Hunter Valley wet earth. The oak is only a minor component and the tannins provide structure and depth on the back palate.
Serve at 16-18 °C with beef stew, aged cheeses, venison roast.
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 grapes. 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 Wine of the Year by James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion in 2010.
