✨ wine.spec_sheet
Named in honor of the historic Ashmans property in the Hunter Valley, where Edward Tyrrell first established his homestead and vineyards in 1858, Tyrrell's Ashmans Brut is a classic Australian sparkling wine. This cuvée pays homage to the family's deep roots in Australian viticulture. Crafted primarily from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from premium vineyards, it is made using modern sparkling winemaking techniques to preserve its bright fruit character and vibrant acidity. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation to develop a fine, persistent bead and a creamy texture, balancing fresh citrus and stone fruit notes with a subtle, yeasty complexity that reflects Tyrrell's commitment to quality across all styles.

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.
