Tyrrell have been developing vineyards throughout most of Australia's modern history and are credited with the introduction of Pinot Noir wines to the modern Australian palate. Building upon a heritage of just sixty acres into almost a thousand today, premium vineyards extend from the Tyrrell's legendary home in the Hunter Valley to distinguished winegrowing regions across the breadth of Australia. Old Winery is an eclectic assemblage of fruit from some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the country, vinified in a combination of traditional hand plunged open vats and larger potter fermenters. The finished wine is treated to a year's maturation, predominantly in French oak casks before bottling.
