- James Suckling: Aromas are of black fruit and bread flour. On the palate, the alcohol is a little noticeable, but the plum and oak flavors are harmonious and tasty. A nice value.
Producer Information
Tyrrell’s Wines is a leading Australian producer based for more than 160 years in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. It also has vineyards in Heathcote in Victoria. Unusually for a well-established Australian producer, it is best known for its Semillon and Chardonnay white wines. However it does make award-winning reds, particularly from Shiraz, and is also known as a pioneer of Pinot Noir in the country. Figures such as Dan Tyrrell (who oversaw 69 vintages until his death in 1959) and the larger-than-life Murray Tyrrell are some of the most important figures in the Australian wine industry. Current winemaker Chris Tyrrell represents the fifth generation; his oldest vines were planted by his great-great-grandfather. Tyrrell’s was also among the founding members of Australia’s First Families of Wine. This is an organization that helps to build awareness of premium Australian wines and their heritage.
