✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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.
