✨ wine.spec_sheet
Named in honor of the year Edward Tyrrell established the historic estate, Tyrrell's 1858 Cuvee Brut is a classic Australian sparkling wine that celebrates over a century and a half of winemaking heritage. Crafted primarily from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from premium vineyards, this sparkling white wine is designed to showcase a vibrant, fruit-driven style with a delicate, persistent bead. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation and brief aging on lees to impart a subtle creamy complexity while preserving the bright, refreshing acidity of citrus and green apple. It stands as an elegant, approachable tribute to one of the founding families of Australian viticulture.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1858 by English immigrant Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell's is one of Australia's oldest and most prestigious family-owned wineries, located in the historic Pokolbin sub-region of the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. Today, under the guidance of fourth-generation family member Bruce Tyrrell, the estate continues to champion its rich heritage while managing some of the region's oldest dry-grown vineyards. Tyrrell's is globally celebrated for its benchmark Hunter Valley Semillon, particularly the iconic Vat 1 Semillon, which showcases extraordinary longevity and complexity without oak contact. The winery is also a pioneer of Australian Chardonnay, exemplified by the historic Vat 47, alongside exceptional, elegant Shiraz expressions such as Vat 9, cementing its status as an icon of Australian viticulture.
