✨ 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
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.
