The Old Winery range from Tyrrell's pays homage to the historic, original slab hut winery constructed by Edward Tyrrell in 1858. Crafted to be an approachable, fruit-forward expression of Australian viticulture, this Shiraz is sourced from premium vineyards across South Eastern Australia. It is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel before undergoing maturation with oak to impart subtle spice and structure. The result is a classic, medium-bodied Australian Shiraz that balances rich dark berry fruit with soft, supple tannins, embodying the welcoming spirit of one of Australia's founding wine families.
🍾 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.
