Tyrrell's Blacksmith's Hut Shiraz 2023

This 2 x Gold-winning, 96pt Shiraz – a bright, elegant, white pepper-laced delight, was crafted at iconic 5 Red Star Tyrrell’s estate in the Hunter Valley. "Any blacksmith’s day would brighten with a glass of this, offering blackberry and blueberry on the nose with vanilla and pepper, milk chocolate and just hints of dried herbs. The fruits on the palate are more of the red variety, set off by notes of chocolate and espresso in a velvet texture and long finish." (John Lehmmann, The Australian). Mark Richardson, red specialist at Tyrrell’s calls Heathcote “undoubtedly Australia’s most exciting new red wine producing region.” Buying up vineyards here was the brainchild of Bruce Tyrrell – and it has yielded s few reds, including this exclusive that win huge numbers of loyal fans every year. The secrets of Heathcote lie in the unique strip of Cambrian soil, forged over 500 million years – resulting in rich dark berry fruit and trademark white pepper spice for which the region is famous.
