Established in 1858 by English immigrant Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell’s Wines is one of Australia’s pre-eminent family owned wine companies with vineyards extending from their historic home in the Hunter Valley to the Limestone Coast (SA) and Heathcote (VIC). Headed up by fourth generation family member Bruce Tyrrell, Tyrrell’s is home to some of Australia’s most awarded wines including the iconic Vat 1 Semillon. Since 1971, Tyrrell’s has been awarded over 5,000 trophies and medals and in 2010 was named “Winery of the Year” in James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion. With the fifth generation, Chris, Jane and John, involved in the business, Tyrrell’s will continue to remain family owned with the simple philosophy of producing high quality wine that people love to drink.

Red and black fruits, choc-licorice, but fresh, some vanilla cream. Medium bodied, smooth operator, silky tannin, polished with perfect ripeness and a ribbon of red fruit flowing into the distance. Shows some oak and offers a more seductive, come-hither style for Tyrrells, though by the standards of many other wineries in the region, it’s subdued and stylish. This is a beautiful Vat 8 that will wow and woo a great many. Tasted: May 2015; Alcohol: 14%; Closure: Screwcap; Drink: 2017-2028; Rating: 95+ Points; Gary Walsh; The Wine Front

If you put this in the cellar the chances of you being disappointed when it reaches maturity are almost zilch. It has character and balance and, from such an excellent year, has enough fruit to keep the engine humming along, long time. A beautiful medium-weight, filigreed wine. Drink by: 2035; Date Tasted: Feb 2016; Alcohol: 14%; Rating: 95 Points; James Halliday Wine Companion
