✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Beside Broke Road' range by Tyrrell's pays affectionate homage to the family's historic home and winery situated on Broke Road in the Hunter Valley. However, for this vibrant Rosé, Tyrrell's looks westward to the cool, maritime-influenced vineyards of Western Australia. This geographical choice allows the winemakers to harness the region's signature bright fruit purity and crisp natural acidity. Typically crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, the fruit is harvested early and undergoes a gentle pressing with minimal skin contact to achieve its signature pale salmon hue. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel, the wine avoids oak contact to preserve its lively red berry aromatics, clean mineral drive, and refreshing, dry finish.
🍾 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.
