Tyrrells Vat 9 Hunter Valley Shiraz 2014 Red Wine 75cLBy Winebuyers

1 x 75cl. The Tyrrell family has owned the Hunter Valley property since 1858 when they planted Syrah and Semillon from the James Busby collection and produced the first vintage in 1864. Wine was not the focus until the 1960s when Murray Tyrrell set up a cellar door and a mail order business, based around special selection wines under numbered Vat labels. Among these, from 1963, was the Vat 1 Semillon that has become one of the most awarded white wines in Australia. Tyrrells also pioneered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with some of the earliest commercial releases of each in the country in the 1970s. Tyrrells started a program of investigation of the suitability of his vineyards to particular varieties and purchased ancient vineyards when they became available. This led to the Sacred Sites range, all from vines over 100 years old. Next generation Bruce Tyrrell hid 1,000 cases of 1989 Vat 1 from his father, releasing it in 1996 to show the benefits of age on Hunter Semillon. The Tyrrells, Vat 9 Hunter Valley Shiraz, 2014 is a red wine.
