“In a moisture-prone region like Hunter, a warm, dry vintage like 2018 is a good thing. One of the region’s best-known reds, Vat 9 is from old vines (some dating to 1892), with far older red-clay soils over limestone. This wine takes its time opening but soon offers flavorful layers of cranberry, blueberry, florals and subdued but present oak. This vintage is on the rich side, with leathery, chiseled tannins. A few years stashed away should offer big rewards. Drink 2022–2036.”

Vat 9 Shiraz is sourced from the best parcels on the Tyrrell Estate Ashmans. These vines have a minimum age of 50 years, and are grown in red clay soils over limestone. Weinkeller and the Short Flat make up the majority of the Vat 9 blend.
Colour: Medium colour density with a glossy purple hue.
Nose: The nose is complex showing darker summer fruits, with some liquorice and spice from the oak.
Palate: The palate is intense in its fruit profile whilst remaining medium-bodied. The length and texture is the signature of this Vat 9, it shows impeccable balance and approachability yet is built for a long life in the cellar.
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.
