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.
