Description
WINEMAKER: Chris Tyrrell
REGION: Hunter Valley, NSW
VARIETAL: Shiraz
VITICULTURE: Sustainable
The Old Hut vineyard was planted in 2003 using cuttings from the 4 Acres vines, which are situated right next door. It features the same ideal soils for growing super-premium Hunter Valley Shiraz. The 2019 vintage in the Hunter Valley was another high quality year across all varieties and was a stellar follow up to 2018. Continued dry conditions meant cropping levels were slightly lower than normal however all of the fruit was in perfect condition with intense concentration. The grapes were harvested by machine during the early hours of 14 February, when the fruit was at its coldest, before fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine was matured for 14 months in older 500-litre French oak puncheons.
A vibrant nose of dark fruits and spice. Even though this block is located right beside 4 Acres, the wine has a bigger structure and completely different weight, although it is still only medium bodied. It possesses richer fruits, along with fine tannins and a soft acid structure, and shows no influence of new oak.
An iconic estate dating back to the mid-19th century, Tyrrell's is home to some of the oldest vines in the world. More traditional than most producers you'll find here, however truly dynamic and progressive with fifth-generation winemaker Chris Tyrrell at the helm.
