✨ Technical Specifications
The Beside Broke Road range by Tyrrell's pays homage to the physical road that runs alongside their historic Hunter Valley home, yet looks beyond their estate borders to source exceptional fruit from other premium Australian regions. For this Pinot Gris, Tyrrell's sources fruit from cool-climate vineyards in Victoria, where the cooler growing season allows the grapes to retain natural acidity and develop delicate aromatic profiles. Fermented entirely in stainless steel to preserve its fresh, vibrant fruit character, the wine showcases classic cool-climate Pinot Gris traits of fresh pear, green apple, and subtle floral nuances, delivered with a crisp, clean, and refreshing palate.
🍾 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.
