Located at an elevation of about 135 metres adjacent to Ekert’s Road on the edge of Mary Ann’s creek on the southern boundary of the original Ashmans property, Johnno’s vineyard is planted on alluvial sandy loam soils. Originally known as the Long Flat vineyard, the name was changed in 2002 in honour of fifth-generation family member John Tyrrell. The vineyard was first planted in 1908 with a mix of Semillon (2.1 hectares) and Shiraz (0.7 hectares) vines. It’s the source for two of our Sacred Sites wines: Johnno’s Shiraz, the only one of our iconic Shiraz wines to come from vines planted on lighter soils, giving it a character all its own; and Johnno’s Semillon, which tends to have a more pronounced texture than is usually found in our whites.
