FOOD PAIRING

The Tyrrell’s Old Winery Pinot Noir has long been a icon of Tyrrell’s ability to make brilliant wines from low yielding grapes and still offer amazing value. This 2021 vintage is certainly no different, made by a perfect blend of pinot noir fruit sourced from some of the best growing regions in the country for this “heartbreak grape”. After harvest the fruit was fermented in a combination of traditional hand plunged open vats and larger potter tanks. Maturation was then carried out in predominantly French oak casks for 12 months prior to bottling. The wine carries lots of varietal cherry and strawberry aromas with complexing forest floor undertones. A soft but generously flavoured style of Pinot with sweet aromas of berries and mushroom. The palate is long and concentrated with rich sweet fruit, subtle savoury oak support and smooth tannins. Drinks well as a young wine but can be cellared for another 4-5 years. An ideal accompaniment to lighter red meat dishes, light game and poultry, tomato-based pasta and semi-soft cheeses.

Tyrrell's

The Tyrrell’s estate, nestled in the foothills of the Brokenback Range in the Hunter Valley, is a unique patchwork of vineyards. Thriving in a diverse range of soils, from sandy loams lying on ancient creek beds to heavier red clays over limestone, these vineyards produce some of the most distinctive and refined wines in the world. All of our estate parcels are well established, with many sites bearing vines that are more than 100 years old and still producing fine wines that embody the characteristics and style of Tyrrell’s and the Hunter Valley. Here at Tyrrell’s, we recognise that we have a responsibility to make our operations as sustainable as possible and are committed to doing everything we can to reduce our environmental impact, whether it’s in the vineyard, in the winery or in our broader operations. With this in mind, in April 2009, we established an Environmental Management System (EMS) that was designed to operate in accordance with the requirements of the International Standard for Environmental Management, ISO 14,001. We also established a dedicated EMS team at the winery to monitor and record our energy usage. This allows us to review our environmental performance each year and measure our progress towards achieving our environmental objectives and targets. The four main areas on which we’ve focused are:
