Tyrrell's Special Release Fiano represents the historic Hunter Valley estate's innovative spirit, embracing alternative Mediterranean varieties that thrive in the region's warm climate. While Tyrrell's is legendary for Semillon, their exploration of Fiano—an ancient grape native to Campania, Italy—has yielded exceptional results. Grown in the sandy loam soils of the Hunter Valley, the grapes are harvested to retain natural acidity and fermented cool in stainless steel. This preserves the variety's signature textural complexity, vibrant citrus, pear, and spice aromas, backed by a distinctive saline minerality. It beautifully bridges the gap between Hunter Valley's traditional crisp white styles and the rich, savory textures of southern Italy.
🍾 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.
