The Old Hillside vineyard on Marrowbone Road, Pokolbin was purchased by the Tyrrell family in December 2017. This vineyard contains the ‘Old Patch’. The Old Hillside Shiraz comes from the younger vines on the vineyard, which have an average age of 50 years. It is a steep, east-facing block that sits right underneath the Brokenback mountain range, which provides great protection. The block features darker, richer soils than those at our Ashmans property.

”From a steep eastern-facing site with darker, richer soils, dating back to the 1950s. Matured in newer 2700L casks for 14 months. Ethereal and nudging mid weight at best. Sappy and beautifully textured, without a skerrick of overt fruit sweetness emerging from polished tannic rails, chamois of texture. The oak, adding further restraint, is impeccably appointed. A wine of a pinot-like grace and lightness of being. Floral. Cherry. Rosewater. Sweet earth. A classic Hunter luncheon Burgundy, as this style was once called. Rightly so. Gorgeous ”
