Fashioned to capture the excellence and refinement of the classic Hunter Valley Shiraz style, named after Brokenback Mountain Range with which Hunter Valley shares a terroir of auspicious deep red volcanic soils. Tyrrell's source fruit from superior, dry grown, low yielding vineyards which have consistently produced the finest vintages. Hunter Valley makes a Shiraz as distinctive and unique as the renowned appellations of the old world, structured and aromatic, endowed with enticing fruit and lined with elegant tannins.
Hunter Valley Shiraz has evolved little stylistically from times long past, when they were commonly branded as Burgundy, lighter in body, endowed with brighter acids and leaner tannins than their South Australian siblings. Brokenback is an achievement in that it makes accessible to all, the distinctive qualities of great Hunter Valley Shiraz, through inclusion of the highest quality fruit, old world vinification techniques and careful handling of oak. Fruit is hand harvested and fermented at warm temperatures in hand plunged open vats. Batches are matured in primarily large French oak casks for eighteen months according to tradition, a component is treated to ageing in small oak barrels. Alcohol 13.0%
TASTING NOTES
A deep purple/ red colour. Aromas of berry fruits with a subtle lift of French oak. These characters flow seamlessly onto the palate, with plush sweet fruit balanced by soft acid and tannin, a classic Hunter Shiraz. A rich wine best served with classic food accompaniments including roasted red meats, such as lamb or beef.

About Tyrrells Winery
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. English immigrant Edward Tyrrell planted his first vines in the Hunter Valley in 1858 establishing Tyrrell's Wines after receiving a land grant in apparently poor pastureland in the lee of the Hunter Valley's Brokenback range.
