Old Hillside Shiraz is made from the younger vines on this site, with an average vine age of 50 years. It is a steep, eastern facing block that is protected by the Brokenback mountain range. The block features darker, richer soils than the soils at Ashmans property.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKERS COMMENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eOur Single Vineyard wines champion our individual vineyard sites that produce wines of distinct character unique to that terroir. These vineyard sites include some of the world’s most important viticultural assets that have an enviable track record of producing world-class wines; all are planted on their own roots using pre-phylloxera material, with the cornerstone of these being old-vine Semillon, Australia’s most unique wine style. For most of our history, Tyrrell’s has produced its wines by blending parcels from different vineyards. However, in 1983, we created the HVD Semillon, our first formally recognised single-vineyard wine. Throughout the 1980s, we continued to investigate how the location and soil of each individual vineyard influences the unique flavours of the wines they produce. Then, in 1992, fourth generation Bruce Tyrrell struck a deal to buy grapes from the Stevens family, sealing it with a handshake. This key move enabled us to focus on the intrinsic quality and uniqueness of the great single vineyards of the Hunter Valley. Since then, we’ve set out to lease or purchase the very best vineyard sites in the Hunter Valley, with our 167 years of generational knowledge and understanding of our region playing a critical role in identifying and acquiring these distinctive vineyards. The redefinition of the vineyard source of our top wines has been the major change at Tyrrell’s over the past 40 years, and this Single Vineyard collection contains many of Australia’s most sought-after wines that have a proven track record of producing wines of quality, pedigree and age-ability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINTAGE NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eIn the lead up to the 2023 vintage, there was an abundance of rain in spring which gave great soil moisture heading into the dry months of December and January. The harvest period was relatively stress-free without any adverse conditions such as rain or heat. This vintage has produced well balanced, complex wines with fruit purity and is considered to be an exceptional Hunter Valley vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINIFICATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eBetween 27 February and 2 March, the fruit was handpicked and sorted in the vineyard before fermentation took place in our open top vats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATURATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eAfter fermentation, the wine was matured in three-year-old French oak casks (2700L) for 14 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hunter Valley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiraz \u0026amp; Shiraz Blends\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eweight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3833kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewine style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red (Full Bodied)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tyrrell's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51791848931561,"sku":"TYRSHZ23-OH-PER","price":96.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/Tyrrell_sOldHillsideShiraz2023.jpg?v=1788419712","url":"https:\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/products\/personalised-tyrrells-old-hillside-shiraz-2023-13-5-750ml","provider":"The Wine Providore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
