✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of the historic slab hut winery built by Edward Tyrrell in 1863, Tyrrell's 'Old Winery' range is crafted to deliver classic, fruit-forward varietal expressions designed for immediate enjoyment. Sourced from premium vineyards across the sun-drenched regions of South Eastern Australia, this Cabernet Sauvignon benefits from a climate that fosters rich fruit intensity balanced by soft, structured tannins. The winemaking team employs traditional fermentation followed by careful maturation with subtle oak contact, ensuring the wine retains its vibrant dark berry character and approachable, smooth finish while paying homage to over a century and a half of family winemaking heritage.
🍾 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.
