Edward Tyrrell planted the first vines at his Pokolbin property in 1858, establishing what would become one of Australia's most important and enduring wine dynasties. Now in its fifth generation under Bruce and Chris Tyrrell, the estate remains defiantly family-owned and committed to the Hunter Valley's two great specialties: Semillon and Shiraz. The Vat wines — particularly the legendary Vat 1 Semillon and Vat 9 Shiraz — are among the most age-worthy wines in the Australian canon. A 10-year-old Vat 1 transforms from a lean, citrusy wine into something of extraordinary complexity, developing lanolin, toast and honey notes that challenge the greatest white Burgundies. Tyrrell's is proof that the Hunter Valley, for all its climatic challenges, can produce wines of irreplaceable character.
