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.

Established in 1858 by English immigrant Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell's is one of Australia's oldest and most prestigious family-owned wineries, located in the historic Pokolbin sub-region of the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. Today, under the guidance of fourth-generation family member Bruce Tyrrell, the estate continues to champion its rich heritage while managing some of the region's oldest dry-grown vineyards. Tyrrell's is globally celebrated for its benchmark Hunter Valley Semillon, particularly the iconic Vat 1 Semillon, which showcases extraordinary longevity and complexity without oak contact. The winery is also a pioneer of Australian Chardonnay, exemplified by the historic Vat 47, alongside exceptional, elegant Shiraz expressions such as Vat 9, cementing its status as an icon of Australian viticulture.
