✨ Technical Specifications
Named after the historic creek that flows through the Tyrrell family's iconic Hunter Valley property, the Moore's Creek range represents an approachable, vibrant introduction to classic Australian varietals. While Tyrrell's is legendary for its estate-grown Hunter Valley flagships, this Shiraz is crafted from carefully selected vineyards across South Eastern Australia. This sourcing strategy allows the winemakers to maintain a consistent, fruit-forward style year after year, blending parcels to achieve a perfect balance of rich dark berry fruit, gentle spice, and soft, approachable tannins. Fermented in stainless steel and matured with subtle oak influence, it preserves the bright, energetic character of the Shiraz grape, offering a friendly nod to the estate's pioneering heritage in a contemporary, highly drinkable format.
🍾 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.
