Tyrrell's Vat 9 Shiraz 2021

The Tyrrell's Vat 9 Shiraz 2021 is one of the Hunter Valley's benchmark single-vineyard Shiraz wines, showcasing the finesse, savoury complexity and longevity that define the region. Sourced from some of Tyrrell's oldest dry-grown vineyards, it combines concentrated fruit with elegance and exceptional balance, making it a classic expression of premium Hunter Valley Shiraz.

Appearance:

Deep ruby with vibrant crimson highlights, bright and youthful.

Aroma:

Complex aromas of blackberry, red plum and dark cherry are intertwined with cracked black pepper, violets, dried herbs, cedar and subtle earthy spice.

Taste:

Medium to full-bodied and beautifully structured, the palate offers layers of black and red berry fruits, plum and liquorice, complemented by savoury spice, fine earthiness and hints of dark chocolate. Silky, fine-grained tannins and vibrant natural acidity create remarkable balance and elegance, while restrained oak enhances texture without dominating the fruit.

Finish:

Long, savoury and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, spice, fine tannins and a refined mineral freshness.

Food Pairing:

An exceptional match with roast lamb, grilled beef, venison, slow-cooked beef cheeks, mushroom dishes, game meats and aged hard cheeses.
