✨ Technical Specifications
The Moore's Creek range by Tyrrell's is named after the scenic watercourse that flows through the family's historic Pokolbin property in the Hunter Valley, where Edward Tyrrell first established his homestead in 1858. Sourced from select vineyards across South Eastern Australia, this Chardonnay is crafted to showcase a modern, vibrant, and highly approachable style. Unlike the estate's heavily structured, age-worthy icons, the Moore's Creek Chardonnay focuses on pure fruit expression, combining bright stone fruit and citrus characters with a clean, refreshing finish. It represents Tyrrell's commitment to quality and heritage, offering an everyday-drinking wine that benefits from the same multi-generational winemaking expertise that shapes their most famous single-vineyard releases.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1858 by Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell's is one of Australia's oldest and most prestigious family-owned wineries, nestled against the Brokenback Range in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. Spanning five generations of family stewardship, the estate played a seminal role in shaping modern Australian viticulture, including pioneering the country's first commercial Chardonnay with the legendary Vat 47 in 1971. The winery remains dedicated to traditional, minimal-intervention winemaking and the preservation of historic, own-rooted old-vine parcels that yield exceptional regional character. Tyrrell's is internationally acclaimed for its benchmark Vat 1 Semillon, celebrated for its extraordinary longevity, as well as distinguished, elegant Hunter Valley Shiraz and sparkling wines.
