Product Notes

Tyrrell's Wines Old Winery Chardonnay is a refreshing white wine that hails from the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales, Australia. This complex and well-structured wine is made from grapes that were carefully handpicked and fermented in French oak barrels. It has a pale straw color, with delicate aromas of vanilla, soft fruit, and subtle oak notes. On the palate, it is light and refreshing, with a good acidity and a creamy mouthfeel. The finish is long and smooth, with a hint of hazelnut and a touch of citrus. This wine is perfect to drink on its own or paired with light seafood dishes, chicken, or pasta.

Tasting Notes

A medium bodied wine with aromas of stone fruit and subtle vanillin oak. The palate is generously flavoured with white peach citrus characters and a clean, crisp finish.

About the Winery

Tyrrell's Wines

The Australian wine label of Tyrrell’s has a rich history that dates back to 1858. During this year, Edward Tyrrell, who had shifted to Australia from England, took control of 320 acres of land in the Hunter Valley region. The iron slab hut that he constructed on this land still stands today to transport you back into those days. He started planting Shiraz and Semillon vines in this region, and there was no turning back for his company after that. 

In 1959, the new generation family members, who were at the helm of affairs at Tyrrell’s, created a new system of winemaking known as the Private Bin System. Here, the fruits from the richest vineyards were matured separately according to the plots they were selected from. They were matured oak barrels or vats. These wines were named based on the vats in which they were matured.

Located at the base of the Brokenback Mountain Range in the Hunter Valley, Tyrrell’s uses some of the best vineyard plots in this region to make elegant wines. Here is a brief about the vineyards that Tyrrell’s uses to grow its grapes.
