✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Planted in 1908 on the deep, sandy alluvial soils of the Hunter Valley floor, Johnno's Vineyard is home to some of Tyrrell's oldest and most treasured own-rooted Semillon vines. Named in honor of John 'Johnno' Tyrrell, this historic plot produces a wine of remarkable pedigree and distinct terroir. True to traditional Hunter Valley methods but with a unique artisanal touch, the grapes are hand-harvested and gently basket-pressed in the old winery. The juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures without any oak contact, preserving the pristine, laser-sharp acidity and intense citrus and lemongrass character of the ancient vines. In its youth, it is vibrant and mineral-driven, but with age, it transforms into a complex masterpiece of toasted brioche, honey, and beeswax.
🍾 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.
