✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Tyrrell's HVD Chardonnay is sourced from the historic Hunter Valley Distillery (HVD) vineyard, which was originally planted in 1908 and is widely recognized as home to the oldest living Chardonnay vines in the world. Situated on a flat, sandy alluvial creek bed, the HVD vineyard benefits from unique soil conditions that allow the dry-grown vines to thrive without irrigation. The wine is crafted to showcase the pure, unadorned character of this ancient terroir. It is typically fermented in a combination of new and seasoned French oak casks, avoiding malolactic fermentation to preserve the natural, vibrant acidity and clean citrus and stone fruit profile characteristic of the Hunter Valley. This results in a Chardonnay of remarkable texture, elegance, and longevity.
🍾 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.
