    The Tyrrell family are proud to release their new super Shiraz, DB24. This wine represents a new approach to red winemaking at Tyrrell's. The concept for DB24 was to create a contempory Shiraz that still maintains the Tyrrell stamp of finesse and elegance. Approximately 90% of the Shiraz grapes were sourced from McLaren Vale, and picked to have both the extract and fleshiness of fruit typical of the region. Approximately 10% of Heathcote Shiraz was blended back to the base wine to add structure and finesse. The double new oak maturation for 12 months each, is the derivation of the name DB24. The vintage was affected from drought conditions in the summer of 2003 which left crop levels down by as much as 50% in some instances. With the limited quantity, there was certainly no lack in quality with intense flavour and deep colour. Picking began on the 7th March, 20 days earlier than 2002. Fermented at the Hunter Valley headquarters in large potter tanks then transferred to new French oak. After 12 months the wine was then trasferred back into special new oak casks that were hand selected by Bruce Tyrrell from the Vicard Cooperage in Cognac. These barriques had profiled interior to increase the wood to wine ratio. The wine was bottled in May 2005. A modern style of Australian Shiraz that has harnessed the strengths of these two great wine regions. The Mclaren Vale gives the wine the extract and fleshiness for which it is renowned and the 10% Heathcote adds savoury undertones and gives the wine balance. The finish is long, and held together well by a thread of acidity. The lunar calendar illustrated on this label has been the vigneron's timepiece: signalling when to harvest, when to cellar and when to enjoy. This wine is matured for 12 months each in double new oak and is the derivation of the name Double Barrel 24. The concept for this wine was to create a contemporary Shiraz that still maintains the Tyrrell stamp of finesse and elegance. The grapes used for this wine come from McLaren Vale and Heathcote, two of the best Shiraz regions in the world.
