White wine dry
The Old Winery Chardonnay is a modern take on a traditional Chardonnay style. The grapes were picked a little earlier than usual to capture varietal freshness offering crisp, mouth-watering natural acidity, then matured it on yeast lees to add a little extra texture and complexity. It spent a relatively short time in French oak to maintain that wonderful freshness. The result is an easy-drinking, medium-bodied wine that offers aromas of stone fruit with a subtle hint of vanilla from the oak influence. The palate is generously flavoured with peach and citrus, rounded off with a clean, crisp finish.
Serve at 12-14 °C with salmon steaks, chicken mince and lighter cheeses.
Founded in 1858 by English immigrant Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell's Wines is one of Australia's most famous family-owned wineries. The family's vineyards stretch from its historic home in the Hunter Valley near Sydney to the Limestone Coast and Heathcote. Run by fourth-generation family member Bruce Tyrrell, the winery produces some of Australia's most awarded wines, including the iconic "Vat 1 Semillon." The Hunter Valley's sandy, alluvial soil is ideal for white grape growing. There are 11 vineyards in the region that are more than 100 years old, 7 of which belong to the Tyrrell family. Tyrrell's is one of the founding members of Australia's First Families of Wine. Since 1971, Tyrrell's has won more than 5,000 trophies and medals, and was named Winery of the Year by James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion in 2010.

Tyrrell's Wines are characterized by the distinct character of the region and grape varieties. The winery's philosophy is one of minimal intervention, aiming to reveal the natural uniqueness of the vineyards.
Prestigious Vineyards
Tyrrell's Wines owns several prestigious vineyards, which are among the oldest and most highly regarded in the Hunter Valley region:
These prestigious vineyards are complemented by other smaller vineyards, each with its own unique characteristics, located in various regions of Australia.
Aging and Drinking Period
Tyrrell's Wines are known for their excellent balance between freshness and complexity, making them enjoyable both young and aged. In particular, the "Semillon" wines have a significant potential to age and develop over time. The "Shiraz" wines can also be aged, but their optimal drinking period depends on the specific vintage and style.
