✨ Technical Specifications
Tyrrell's Traditional Method Pinot Noir Chardonnay is a sophisticated sparkling wine that showcases the estate's mastery of classic French techniques adapted to the Australian terroir. Crafted using the traditional method of secondary bottle fermentation, this cuvée blends the structural depth of Pinot Noir with the elegant, citrus-driven freshness of Chardonnay. Sourced from premium, cool-climate vineyards to preserve essential natural acidity, the wine undergoes a period of lees aging, which imparts delicate autolytic characters of toasted brioche, creamy texture, and subtle nutty complexity. This sparkling wine reflects Tyrrell's long-standing dedication to quality and innovation, offering a beautifully balanced, crisp, and celebratory expression that stands alongside their world-renowned still wines.
🍾 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.
