DESCRIPTION
Tyrrell's Hunter Valley Chardonnay 2022 is sourced from a small selection of the estate's finest Chardonnay blocks, hand-harvested and aged for 5 months on fine lees in French and American oak barrels. The little brother to the famous Vat 47, this wine is crafted to the same high standards. It features 13% ABV, pH 3.49, and 6.7 g/L total acidity. Aging potential of 3 to 5 years.
On the nose, aromas of citrus and white stone fruits, with spicy oak notes. On the palate, medium-bodied, with great intensity and remarkable balance. Ideal pairing with a Caesar salad or grilled sea bass.
Tyrrell's, with a 160-year winemaking tradition, is led by Bruce Tyrrell (fourth generation) and Jane, John, and Chris (fifth generation) in the Hunter Valley. Their exceptional 108-hectare vineyard is home to 7 of the region's 11 oldest ungrafted blocks.
REGION
Hunter Valley
Australia
The Hunter Valley is the iconic wine region of New South Wales and one of the oldest in Australia. This is where the story of Australian wine began in the 19th century, and where a unique tradition lives on. The region is especially famous for two styles that have become classics: oak aged Chardonnay and dry, bright, taut Sémillon.
Produced since the 1870s, Hunter Valley Sémillon is seen as the purest expression of the grape in the New World. The best examples, such as those from Tyrrell's, are known for their crystalline freshness when young and their incredible ageing potential, developing notes of honey, toast and beeswax over time.
