Description

A compelling expression of Australia’s classic Cabernet Shiraz blend, shaped by thoughtful vineyard sourcing and a balance of regional strengths – with the 2022 vintage delivering richness, vibrancy and seamless harmony. By combining the plush depth of McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon with the bright, lifted character of Hunter Valley Shiraz, Tyrrell’s crafts a wine that captures both generosity and freshness in equal measure.  This thoughtful union of regions brings together the structure and dark fruit intensity of Cabernet with the aromatic lift and spice of cool-toned Hunter Shiraz. The result is a blend that speaks to both tradition and balance, offering immediate drinkability while retaining the depth and structure expected of this iconic Australian style.  Displays a deep crimson hue with expressive aromatics of dark berries, cassis and ripe plum unfolding alongside hints of spice, subtle herbal notes and gentle savoury complexity. Layers of dark chocolate and warm spice add further depth to the bouquet.  The palate is rich yet vibrant, revealing plush dark fruit supported by finely integrated tannins and a lively thread of freshness. The McLaren Vale Cabernet contributes weight and structure, while the Hunter Shiraz brings aromatic lift and energy, creating a beautifully balanced wine with both generosity and precision. The finish is smooth, persistent and effortlessly drinkable.  A superb companion for grilled meats, slow-cooked lamb, hearty pasta dishes or richly flavoured vegetarian plates.   Drinking beautifully on release while possessing the structure and balance to cellar gracefully for years to come, where further savoury complexity and refinement will continue to unfold.
