The 'Old Winery' range by Tyrrell's pays homage to the historic slab hut winery constructed in 1863, which still stands today at the heart of the Pokolbin estate. While Tyrrell's is legendary for its age-worthy Hunter Valley Semillon, the Old Winery Sauvignon Blanc extends their winemaking expertise to a broader canvas, sourcing fruit from select cool-climate and warm-climate vineyards across South Eastern Australia. This wine is crafted to showcase the vibrant, expressive side of the variety, focusing on clean, crisp fruit purity. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright aromatics, it delivers a lively bouquet of tropical fruits, freshly cut grass, and citrus, backed by over 160 years 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.
