About this wine
Tyrell’s 4 Acres Shiraz, Hunter Valley
Tyrell’s 4 Acres Shiraz comes from the pioneering estate’s Sacred Sites range, heroing singular vineyards that best express the unique terroir of the Hunter and Tyrell’s incredible holdings. 4 Acres is the oldest block on the Ashmans property. A reserve wine, it is only produced in top vintages.
Fruit is handpicked and sorted, before fermentation with 15% whole bunches. It is then matured for 14 months in a two-year-old Stockinger oak cask. Tyrell’s describe the 4 Acres as one of the most distinctive Shiraz wines in Australia, an evocative illustration of the singularity of Hunter Valley Shiraz. Bright, lifted, and energetic, red fruit and spice perfume the wine. A true Hunter Valley ‘Burgundy’ style, it is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a fruit-forward wine with great length, complexity, and surprising freshness.

Very attractive blueberry, bracken and red-plum aromas with cassis and violets. Some rose, red-cherry and fresh, earthy notes. The palate has an immaculately concentrated feel with measured shape and unwaveringly pure red-plum and blueberry flavors. The tannins are seamless, fine and vividly defined. Stunning length here. This vineyard was planted in 1879. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Dating from 1879, the vineyard’s quality is amplified by the use of Stockinger wood (2550L), where it spent 14 months. This oscillates with the 8 Acres as my favourite of these single-vineyard expressions. An apotheosis of Hunter savouriness and a lightness of touch of yore. Truly ethereal. Fragrant, with mottled blue-fruit allusions, lilac, nori and chinotto. Clove, pepper grind and cardamom lace the finish. Yet frankly, words are a waste. The texture, the totem. Detailed tannins of immaculate precision. An airy grace. Elegance personified.

Tasted in the Hunter Valley, blind, in a bracket of 94 2019 vintage wines. No drinking windows entered.
Holy Moses. Here’s a wine. Quietly powerful and significantly elegant, ripples with the authority of fine, sinewy tannins, all web-like and tightening the wine, drawing out the dark cherry, dried herb, undergrowth and clove characters into an epic infinity of flavour. Texture! Tension! Length! It just does so much. So much to sink into and appreciate. Superb.

I love the inclusion of vintage on top of the screwcap. So thoughtful, Vineyard planted in 1879. 3100 bottles produced. One of the greatest, if not the greatest Shiraz wines in Australia (for me). Still under $100.
Spicy, perfume of violets, clear and bright red fruits, crunch and energy, fine acid, tannin is gentle and set back nicely inside the wine, so pretty and lively, finish is terrific and long. Only just medium-bodied, and all the better for that. It’s so fluid and harmonious. It flows and fills all corners of the mouth with grace and precision. It’s one of the finest 4 Acres made to date.
