✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Tyrrell's Fordwich Verdelho is a vibrant celebration of one of the Hunter Valley's most successful alternative white varieties. The grapes are sourced from the historic Fordwich Sill, a unique geological formation in the Broke Fordwich sub-region characterized by ancient, weathered red volcanic soils. First planted in the Hunter Valley in the 19th century, Verdelho thrives in this warm climate, and the volcanic terroir of Fordwich imparts a distinct richness and intense tropical fruit profile to the wine. Tyrrell's vinifies this fruit entirely in stainless steel to preserve its pure, aromatic intensity, resulting in a wine bursting with notes of passionfruit, guava, and spice, balanced by a crisp, lively acidity that has made it a beloved classic of the region.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Tyrrell's blev grundlagt i 1858 af Edward Tyrrell og er et af Australiens ældste og mest prestigefyldte familiedrevne vinhuse, smukt beliggende for foden af Brokenback Range i Hunter Valley i New South Wales. Vinhuset har været i familiens hænder i fem generationer og har spillet en skelsættende rolle i udviklingen af moderne australsk vinavl. Det var blandt andet her, landets første kommercielle Chardonnay så dagens lys med den legendariske Vat 47 i 1971. Vingården er fortsat dedikeret til traditionelle vinifikationsmetoder med minimal intervention samt bevarelsen af historiske, rodægte vinstokke, der giver vine med en enestående regional karakter. Tyrrell's er internationalt anerkendt for sin ikoniske Vat 1 Semillon, der er berømt for sit fantastiske lagringspotentiale, såvel som for sine elegante, karakterfulde Hunter Valley Shiraz-vine og mousserende vine.
