✨ Technical Specifications
Tyrrell's Special Release Gewurztraminer represents a captivating, limited-production exploration of an aromatic classic by one of Australia's founding wine families. While the Hunter Valley is globally renowned for Semillon, Tyrrell's showcases their diverse viticultural curiosity with this small-batch release. Sourced from select vineyards, the fruit is handled with extreme care and fermented cool in stainless steel tanks to preserve the highly volatile, exotic aromatics of the grape. The result is a beautifully expressive dry white wine that balances the variety's signature opulent perfume with the bright, clean acidity characteristic of New South Wales white wines, offering an intriguing alternative to the estate's traditional lineup.
🍾 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.
