✨ Technical Specifications
The Old Winery range by Tyrrell's is named in honor of the historic slab hut winery constructed on the estate in 1863. Designed to offer highly approachable, fruit-forward, and varietally expressive wines, this Pinot Noir is sourced from selected vineyards across South Eastern Australia. Unlike the estate's highly structured, cellar-worthy single-vineyard releases, this wine is crafted for immediate pleasure, showcasing the softer, more playful side of the varietal. It undergoes gentle fermentation and light oak maturation to preserve its bright red berry aromas, subtle forest-floor undertones, and soft, silky tannins, reflecting the Tyrrell family's multi-generational winemaking expertise in a friendly, accessible style.
🍾 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.
