✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1858 by English immigrant Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell's is one of Australia's founding wine dynasties and a cornerstone member of Australia's First Families of Wine. Nestled beneath the Brokenback Range in the Pokolbin subdistrict of the Hunter Valley, the estate oversees some of the world's rarest own-rooted heritage vineyards, notably the Sacred Sites planted as early as 1867 and 1879. Viticulture focuses on sustainable stewardship over ancient alluvial flats and weathered clay loams under a warm, maritime-influenced sub-tropical microclimate. The winemaking philosophy balances traditional techniques, neutral oak, and minimal intervention to preserve purity, vitality, and sense of place. Tyrrell's benchmark portfolio is internationally celebrated for Vat 1 Hunter Semillon—an austere, unwooded white renowned for its transformative longevity—alongside Vat 47 Chardonnay, widely credited with pioneering commercial Australian Chardonnay, and the singular, medium-bodied Old Patch and Vat 9 Shirazes.
