Description

1100 metais Tyrrell šeimos protėvio sero Walterio Tyrrello paleista klaidinga strėlė nužudė Anglijos karalių Viljamą II (William II, žinomą kaip Rufus). Šiandien šio liūdnai pagarsėjusio incidento vieta New Forest mieste, Anglijoje, pažymėta Rufus akmeniu. Iš Heathcote vynuogyno pagamintas 'Shiraz' mišinio vynas pavadintas šio Tyrrell šeimos istorijos fakto vardu. Heathcote vynuogynas pasodintas 1994 m. ant senovinio Cambrian dirvožemio ( juodieji skalūnai, mikrokristalinis kvarcas, pelenai su fosilijomis)  Centrinėje Viktorijoje (Central Victoria), į šiaurę nuo Heathcote miestelio. Šie senoviniai dirvožemiai yra regiono sinonimai ir suteikia vynui unikalią struktūrą.

Vynas puikiai subalansuotas, intensyvus, drąsus. Vynuogių sultys buvo fermentuotos derinant atvirą ir uždarą  fermentacijos metodą. Brandinimas vyko daugiausia prancūziško ąžuolo statinėse 12 mėn.(20 % naujos). Intensyvūs juodųjų slyvų, tamsaus šokolado skoniai, baltųjų pipirų, šilkmedžio natos, lankstūs taninai, bei ąžuolo įtaka sukuria plataus tūrio, ryškų vyną.

Serving recommendations

James Suckling

An outlier of the range, moving away from the spiritual Hunter turf. Ancient Cambrian soils, the oldest in the world. This wine was once a behemoth. Today, tidily compact and eminently drinkable despite the fuller weight, sweeter brood of fruit and the reductive ode to tension. Tapenade, blue fruit, iodine and a hint of menthol. A little gritty across the edges, but will placate those on the hunt for richer, slightly throaty styles. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

About brand

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.

Wine Style

Tyrrell's Wines are characterized by the distinct character of the region and grape varieties. The winery's philosophy is one of minimal intervention, aiming to reveal the natural uniqueness of the vineyards.

  • White Wine: Tyrrell's is particularly renowned for its "Semillon," which is known for its freshness, minerality, and ability to age gracefully. They also produce high-quality "Chardonnay" wines, characterized by complexity and elegance.
  • Red Wine: Tyrrell's "Shiraz" wines are known for their richness, fruitiness, and smooth tannins. The winery also produces other red wines that reflect the specific characteristics of different regions and grape varieties.

Prestigious Vineyards

Tyrrell's Wines owns several prestigious vineyards, which are among the oldest and most highly regarded in the Hunter Valley region:

  • "Vat 1 Vineyard": This vineyard is the source of the iconic "Vat 1 Semillon."
  • "HVD Vineyard": One of the oldest "Chardonnay" vineyards in Australia.
  • "Old Hillside Vineyard": The oldest "Shiraz" vineyard.
  • "Sacred Sites Vineyard": Vineyards that grow the highest quality grapes.

These prestigious vineyards are complemented by other smaller vineyards, each with its own unique characteristics, located in various regions of Australia.

Aging and Drinking Period

Tyrrell's Wines are known for their excellent balance between freshness and complexity, making them enjoyable both young and aged. In particular, the "Semillon" wines have a significant potential to age and develop over time. The "Shiraz" wines can also be aged, but their optimal drinking period depends on the specific vintage and style.
