Vintage: 2019
Bottle size: 75cl

ABV: 14%
Medium colour density with a bright purple hue. It has a complex aromatic profile of red fruits, dried herb and touch of pepper. The palate shows great precision and clarity, whilst being light to medium-bodied, a true Hunter River Burgundy style. Bright red fruits, lively acid and subtle tannins all work together seamlessly. A wine with deceptive length, and great complexity and freshness.
The 4 Acres Vineyard was planted in 1879 on deep red clay soils over limestone and is the oldest block on Tyrrell Estate, ‘Ashmans’. A truly authentic Hunter Valley vineyard in its ability to produce a medium-bodied, elegant style with understated power, length and complexity. The fruit is handpicked and sorted in the vineyard before a natural fermentation takes place in our open top vats with approximately 10% whole bunches. After fermentation, the wine is matured in a single, three-year-old French oak cask for 14 months.
The Tyrrell family’s association with the grape began with Edward Tyrrell in 1858. Today his legacy lives on through the fourth and fifth generation of the family who collectively manage one of Australia’s oldest and most highly regarded wineries. Tyrrell’s has grown over a century and a half to become one of Australia’s most prestigious winemakers.
