✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1858 by Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell's is one of Australia's oldest and most prestigious family-owned wineries, nestled against the Brokenback Range in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. Spanning five generations of family stewardship, the estate played a seminal role in shaping modern Australian viticulture, including pioneering the country's first commercial Chardonnay with the legendary Vat 47 in 1971. The winery remains dedicated to traditional, minimal-intervention winemaking and the preservation of historic, own-rooted old-vine parcels that yield exceptional regional character. Tyrrell's is internationally acclaimed for its benchmark Vat 1 Semillon, celebrated for its extraordinary longevity, as well as distinguished, elegant Hunter Valley Shiraz and sparkling wines.
