✨ 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
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.
