“Firmer, more muscular and a wee bit darker than the 4 Acres, the 2022 Johnno’s Shiraz hails from the eponymous vineyard, planted in 1908 on sandy alluvial soils. The style here is a slight shift sideways from the 4 Acres (no surprise given the differing vineyards), and here, we see clarity of fruit akin to a glass-bottom boat. There are notes of redcurrant and pomegranate, raspberry and red apple skin. This is superb…”

The Shiraz on Johnno’s was planted in 1908 on sandy alluvial soils, in contrast to the 4 Acres and Weinkeller vineyards, which are on deep-red clay over limestone. Not only is the soil different to that on our other super-premium blocks, but the wine is unlike any of the other reds in the stable. The fruit is handpicked and sorted in the vineyard before a natural fermentation takes place in our open-top vats with 10% whole bunches. After fermentation, the wine is matured in a single three-year-old French oak cask (2700L) and an older puncheon (500L) for 14 months.
Colour: Bright maroon
Nose: The nose is complex, showing dark fruits, with some spice and forest floor like characters, similar to a Pinot Noir.
Palate: Like always, Johnno’s has a different character and complexity that the sandy site provides. Medium-bodied intensity with dark fruits, supported by the sandy tannins with a wonderful freshness and length.
Grape Varieties: 100% Shiraz
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 NSW to their Heathcote vineyards in Victoria.
The Tyrrell’s Hunter Valley estate has 11 vineyards with vines that are more than 100 years old, which are used to make the Sacred Sites range. One of these releases, Old Patch Shiraz, was awarded a 100-point score by critic James Suckling for four consecutive vintages; 2014, 2017, 2018 and 2019 (none was made in ’15 and ’16).
Tyrrell’s is also 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. Furthermore, the HVD vineyard, planted in 1908, is believed to be the world’s oldest Chardonnay plot. In all, the company owns eight of the 11 oldest vineyards in New South Wales.
