✨ Technical Specifications
Beside Broke Road pays homage to the historic thoroughfare that cuts through the heart of the Hunter Valley, where the legendary Tyrrell family has crafted wine since 1858. While Tyrrell's is deeply rooted in New South Wales, they looked to the cool, maritime-influenced vineyards of Western Australia to source the fruit for this Cabernet Sauvignon. Western Australia's pristine climate and ancient soils yield Cabernet of exceptional purity and structural elegance. This wine is crafted in an approachable, fruit-forward style, showcasing vibrant dark berry fruit, subtle leafy notes, and gentle French oak integration, bridging the historic winemaking philosophy of the Hunter with the expressive terroir of the West.
🍾 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.
