✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1858 by English immigrant Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell's is one of Australia's founding wine dynasties and a cornerstone member of Australia's First Families of Wine. Nestled beneath the Brokenback Range in the Pokolbin subdistrict of the Hunter Valley, the estate oversees some of the world's rarest own-rooted heritage vineyards, notably the Sacred Sites planted as early as 1867 and 1879. Viticulture focuses on sustainable stewardship over ancient alluvial flats and weathered clay loams under a warm, maritime-influenced sub-tropical microclimate. The winemaking philosophy balances traditional techniques, neutral oak, and minimal intervention to preserve purity, vitality, and sense of place. Tyrrell's benchmark portfolio is internationally celebrated for Vat 1 Hunter Semillon—an austere, unwooded white renowned for its transformative longevity—alongside Vat 47 Chardonnay, widely credited with pioneering commercial Australian Chardonnay, and the singular, medium-bodied Old Patch and Vat 9 Shirazes.
