✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Beside Broke Road' range by the historic Tyrrell's winery represents a creative exploration beyond their traditional Hunter Valley home. Named after the iconic road that runs through the heart of Pokolbin, this range sees Tyrrell's sourcing specific varietals from regions where they truly excel. For their Sauvignon Blanc, they look to the pristine, cool-climate vineyards of Western Australia. Here, maritime breezes and abundant sunshine yield grapes with intense varietal character. The wine is crafted using modern, temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to preserve the intense aromatics of passionfruit, cut grass, and citrus, resulting in a lively, clean, and incredibly refreshing style that captures the essence of Western Australian terroir under the watchful eye of one of Australia's founding wine families.
🍾 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.
