✨ Technical Specifications
Tyrrell's Moore's Creek range takes its name from the watercourse that runs through the historic Ashmans property in the Hunter Valley, where the Tyrrell family has been crafting wine since 1858. While the estate is legendary for its long-lived flagship wines, the Moore's Creek label represents an approachable, fruit-driven expression of classic Australian varietals. Sourced from selected vineyards across South Eastern Australia, this Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted to highlight vibrant primary fruit. It undergoes traditional fermentation followed by careful maturation with subtle oak influence, resulting in a wine that balances rich dark berry flavors with soft, approachable tannins and a touch of spice, embodying Tyrrell's historic winemaking expertise in an everyday style.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1858 by English immigrant Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell's is one of Australia's founding wine dynasties and a cornerstone member of Australia's First Families of Wine. Nestled beneath the Brokenback Range in the Pokolbin subdistrict of the Hunter Valley, the estate oversees some of the world's rarest own-rooted heritage vineyards, notably the Sacred Sites planted as early as 1867 and 1879. Viticulture focuses on sustainable stewardship over ancient alluvial flats and weathered clay loams under a warm, maritime-influenced sub-tropical microclimate. The winemaking philosophy balances traditional techniques, neutral oak, and minimal intervention to preserve purity, vitality, and sense of place. Tyrrell's benchmark portfolio is internationally celebrated for Vat 1 Hunter Semillon—an austere, unwooded white renowned for its transformative longevity—alongside Vat 47 Chardonnay, widely credited with pioneering commercial Australian Chardonnay, and the singular, medium-bodied Old Patch and Vat 9 Shirazes.
