✨ Technical Specifications
The Old Winery range by Tyrrell's pays homage to the historic slab hut winery built in 1863, where the family's first vintage was crushed. Crafted to be an approachable, fruit-driven introduction to the Tyrrell's style, this Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend utilizes fruit sourced from select vineyards across South Eastern Australia. By combining the structure, zesty acidity, and citrus core of Semillon with the vibrant tropical fruit and herbaceous aromatics of Sauvignon Blanc, Tyrrell's winemakers create a lively, unwooded white wine. It represents a modern Australian classic, focusing on freshness, clean fruit expression, and immediate drinkability.
🍾 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.
