Why We Love This Wine

Tyrell's Winery traces its roots to 1858 when Edward Tyrell, a British immigrant, took up a selection of 320 acres of prime Hunter Valley land - one of the last available properties in this limestone rich territory abutting the Brokenback range. The Winery was completed in 1863 and Tyrell's 1st vintage came out the following year. Tyrell's staunchly advocates sustainable farming through their established Environmental Management System which has achieved a 62% reduction in Total Greenhouse Gas Emissions since 2009. Today, Tyrell's premium vineyards extend from their historic home in Hunter Valley to other distinguished grape growing regions in Australia including Heathcote in Victoria where they have identified seven rare vineyard blocks more than 100 years old. Lemon colored with a clean & light nose possessing a palate of peach & apricot as well as green fruit overtones and lingering sweet vanilla spice. This is a light bodied white with medium acidity and a short, clean finish. Pair this with Chicken Cacciatore, Black Cod Teriyaki, or Grilled Blue Marlin Belly.   

Winemaker / 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.
