✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
