Tyrrell's Vat 8 Hunter Valley Shiraz Cabernet 2017

A modern style of Australian red that also respects the tradition of varietal blending to make a more rounded wine. The wine shows intense plum fruit sweetness from the Shiraz with dark berry and chocolate characters. The 5% Cabernet component adds to the length and fullness of the wine. The 2017 Shiraz Cabernet vintage was one of the best in recent memory and has produced wines of the highest quality. Solid rains in Winter and Spring meant the vines had constant access to water and the warmer weather in the new year meant all of the fruit was in near perfect condition and ripeness when it was harvested.
