Established by Edward Tyrrell in 1858, Tyrrell’s is one of Australia’s pre-eminent family owned wine companies and is home to some of Australia’s most awarded wines. Having lived and breathed wine growing and winemaking in the Hunter Valley for more than 160 years, Tyrrell’s have amassed an unrivalled knowledge of what makes the Hunter one of Australia’s, and indeed the world’s, greatest winegrowing regions. The Tyrrell family owns eight of the 11 oldest vineyards in NSW and uses fruit from these ancient vines to craft the wines that make up Tyrrell’s Sacred Sites. Their Vat 1 Semillon is Australia’s most awarded white wine, having won almost 5,500 medals and more than 330 trophies.
