Tyrrell’s Old Winery Shiraz
Blended from fruit sourced from some of Australia’s best Shiraz regions in the country, our Old Winery Shiraz is deep red in colour, it’s smooth, soft and spicy, offering aromas of dark fruit and a subtle hint of vanilla from the oak influence. The palate has an abundance of rich Shiraz flavour, supported by firm tannins that provide length and complexity. An ideal accompaniment to traditional red-meat dishes, tomato-based pastas and matured cheeses.

Winemaker’s Notes
The grapes are sourced from trusted regional and local growers with the winemaking being completed at our
Hunter Valley winery in a combination of open top fermenters and stainless steel potter tanks. Maturation for
the wine took place in a mixture of French and American oak barrels.
Tasting Notes
Deep red in colour with a bright purple rim. A smooth, soft and spicy red wine with aromas of dark ripe fruit
and subtle vanillin oak. The palate is full of rich shiraz flavours and is supported by firm tannins which provide
good length and complexity.
Serving Suggestion
An ideal accompaniment to traditional red meat dishes, tomato based pastas and matured cheeses.
Tyrrell’s Old Winery Shiraz
THE STORY OF OLD WINERY
Named after the Tyrrell’s historic winery in the Hunter Valley, which was built in 1863 for the first vintage
in 1864. A classic range of wines produced using fruit from premium Australian wine regions, Old Winery
delivers distinctive varietal character and outstanding quality synonymous with the Tyrrell’s name. Designed for
immediate enjoyment, the Old Winery promise is to provide a quality wine to suit every palate preference at a
refreshingly affordable price.
Tyrrell’s was among the founding members of Australia’s First Families of Wine, an organisation that helps to build awareness of premium Australian wines and their heritage. With a fifth generation now involved in the business, Tyrrell’s will continue to remain family run, with each generation focused on passing the business to the next in better condition than they received it, all the while being guided by Edward Tyrrell’s motto: “Nothing is great unless it is good.”

“The story of Tyrrell’s Wines is inextricably linked to the story of wine in Australia. It is a story about pioneers, men and women who transformed the Hunter Valley of NSW, planted grapes there and looked for better ways to make wine.
The Hunter Valley was ideal for the production of premium wines, notably Shiraz in the reds and Semillon in the whites. Both made table wines of power and distinction, with the ability to age beautifully in the bottle. These two varieties provided the basis for the beginning of the Tyrrell’s premium Winemaker’s Selection Range.”
Tyrrell’s is as much a part of the fabric of the Hunter Valley as the Semillon and Shiraz vines we’ve been nurturing since our founder, English-immigrant Edward Tyrrell, first planted them during the mid-19th century.
Having lived and breathed wine growing and winemaking in the Hunter Valley for more than 160 years, we’ve amassed an unrivalled knowledge of what makes the Hunter one of Australia’s, and indeed the world’s, greatest winegrowing regions.
Over those 160-plus years, Tyrrell’s has been a constant in both the Hunter Valley and Australian wine industries. We helped to pioneer what are now two of Australia’s favourite wine varieties – Chardonnay and Pinot Noir – and have been instrumental in establishing Hunter Valley Semillon as one of the world’s iconic wine styles. Our Vat 1 Semillon is Australia’s most awarded white wine, having won almost 5,500 medals and more than 330 trophies.

Australia’s first vines were planted in New South Wales on the Farm Cove foreshore. The first commercial wine was made there, and the first wine exported to England – by Gregory Blaxland in 1823. Given the size and climate diversity of NSW and its large population, it is surprising that the state does not play a bigger role in Australian wine. It is a state of great contrasts, from the huge, flat expanse of irrigated vineyards in the Riverina area near Griffith to the high uplands of Mudgee in the north. The Hunter Valley is the most recognised region within NSW, famous for its long-lived Semillons and unique styled Shiraz. Riverina is the largest wine-producing region. The more recent viticultural developments are within the regions along the Great Dividing Range: Mudgee, Orange, Cowra, Hilltops etc. There is much promise and interest in the wines now being produced within these regions.
