Edward Tyrrell from England established his family’s winery in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales in Australia in 1858. Today the winery is in the hands of Bruce Tyrrell and his three children. They consider the 2014 one of the best vintages for this wine, and it is certainly showing well today. It has a smooth as silk texture with juicy, ripe blackberry, strawberry, plum fruit spiced with black pepper balanced with lively acidity and burnished tannins. Serve it with roast chicken or a mushroom ragout.
