This wine has a rich, velvety finish that lingers on the palate and makes it an excellent pairing for dishes like grilled chicken, seafood, and pasta with cream-based sauces. The Tyrrell's Wines Winemaker's Selection VAT 47 Chardonnay is an ideal choice for those looking for a premium Australia Chardonnay that embodies balance, complexity, and elegance.

Tasting Notes

A wine with a wonderful core of sweet chardonnay fruit with the subtle underlying oak giving the wine lift and structure with a clean, fresh acid finish. The wine has an extra layer of texture or ‘flintiness’ from the slight solids fermentation. No malolactic fermentation has ensured a tight, lean style of chardonnay that should age well.

About the Winery

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.
