✨ 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
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.
