Tyrrell’s Old Winery Shiraz
Blended from fruit sourced from some of Australia’s best Shiraz regions in the country, our Old Winery Shiraz is deep red in colour, it’s smooth, soft and spicy, offering aromas of dark fruit and a subtle hint of vanilla from the oak influence. The palate has an abundance of rich Shiraz flavour, supported by firm tannins that provide length and complexity. An ideal accompaniment to traditional red-meat dishes, tomato-based pastas and matured cheeses.

Winemaker’s Notes
The grapes are sourced from trusted regional and local growers with the winemaking being completed at our
Hunter Valley winery in a combination of open top fermenters and stainless steel potter tanks. Maturation for
the wine took place in a mixture of French and American oak barrels.
Tasting Notes
Deep red in colour with a bright purple rim. A smooth, soft and spicy red wine with aromas of dark ripe fruit
and subtle vanillin oak. The palate is full of rich shiraz flavours and is supported by firm tannins which provide
good length and complexity.
Serving Suggestion
An ideal accompaniment to traditional red meat dishes, tomato based pastas and matured cheeses.
Tyrrell’s Old Winery Shiraz
THE STORY OF OLD WINERY
Named after the Tyrrell’s historic winery in the Hunter Valley, which was built in 1863 for the first vintage
in 1864. A classic range of wines produced using fruit from premium Australian wine regions, Old Winery
delivers distinctive varietal character and outstanding quality synonymous with the Tyrrell’s name. Designed for
immediate enjoyment, the Old Winery promise is to provide a quality wine to suit every palate preference at a
refreshingly affordable price.
Tyrrell’s was among the founding members of Australia’s First Families of Wine, an organisation that helps to build awareness of premium Australian wines and their heritage. With a fifth generation now involved in the business, Tyrrell’s will continue to remain family run, with each generation focused on passing the business to the next in better condition than they received it, all the while being guided by Edward Tyrrell’s motto: “Nothing is great unless it is good.”
