ORIGINS
Winery: Tyrrell's
Region: Hunter Valley
Australia's Hunter Valley is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the state of New South Wales, the Hunter Valley is renowned for its Semillon and Shiraz wines, as well as its picturesque landscape.
James Busby shipped pre-phylloxera European vine cuttings to the Hunter Valley in the 1830s and by the following decade there were over 500 acres (200 hectares) of vineyard in the country. The establishment of the renowned Lake's Folly in 1963 is considered the first new vineyard planted here in the 20th Century and today there are over 150 wineries in the Hunter Valley.CUSTOMER RATING

Opulent and detailed blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in 30% new French oak barriques for 6 months, with a rich, mellow body and a deep, concentrated color. The nose is centered around by blackberry, bitter chocolate, and smoky bacon, with layers of pepper and vanilla. The taste is earthy and savoury, with a smooth, supple grip and a long, enjoyable finish. A amazing offering for the price, with a good cohesion of fruit and tannins. Recommended for young to medium-aged Shiraz fans.

Rich and full-bodied Shiraz blend with a deep, rich fruit profile. The wine's composition and finale were well-balanced and satisfying, making it a amazing option for those expecting a bold Shiraz. whereas it didn't quite match the quality of other Shiraz I've had the pleasure of tasting, it was still a fulfilling experience. 3.8/5 stars.
