Winemaker's Selection Vat 8 Shiraz Cabernet

Tyrrell's Winemaker's Selection Vat 8 Shiraz Cabernet is a blend of premium Hunter Valley Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are grown at Tyrrell's Ashmans property and surrounding vineyards.

It is a modern take on a traditional Australian style, made only in small volumes using outstanding parcels of fruit. It is predominantly Shiraz with typically 5-10% Cabernet.

Initially the components are vinified separately. They ferment in open stainless steel vats with hand plunging, pump overs and rack and returns three times daily. The individual parcels are then left to age.

After blending, the complete wine finishes maturation in small French oak barrels, around one third new.

Crimson red, Tyrrell's Winemaker's Selection Vat 8 Shiraz Cabernet has intense dark fruit flavours from the Shiraz and fullness and length from the Cabernet. Cellaring potential is 10 years.
