Few names are as woven into Australia’s wine story as Tyrrell’s. Founded in 1858 by English immigrant Edward Tyrrell, the family planted their first Shiraz and Semillon vines in the Hunter Valley — beginning a legacy that now spans over 160 years and five generations.

Still family-owned and operated, Tyrrell’s remains a true pioneer of Australian winemaking. From the creation of the iconic Vat 1 Semillon to the groundbreaking Vat 47 Chardonnay, Vat 8 Shiraz Cabernet  and Vat 9 Shiraz, their wines have become benchmarks of quality and character — earning more than 5,000 awards along the way.

The estate’s vineyards stretch across the Hunter Valley and into Heathcote, Victoria, with some vines over a century old. Sustainability and stewardship are central to their philosophy, reflected in significant reductions in emissions and a deep respect for the land that continues to nurture their craft.

Visitors to the historic Pokolbin winery can experience guided tastings, tours, and a tangible connection to Australia’s winemaking heritage — where every bottle tells a story of place, patience, and passion.

Pioneers then. Perfectionists now.
