Incredibly youthful colour, the wine shows an amazing length of flavour and mouth feel, with strong, clean acid on the finish and some secondary characters derived from the slight solids ferment. A great example of modern Hunter Valley chardonnay with its citrus/acid backbone, which is a benefit of no malolactic fermentation.

The Story

A continued evolution in style towards a more delicate and textural Chardonnay.

The nose shows delicate citrus and white stonefruit with a hint of oak and sulphide lift. The palate has the generosity of Chardonnay in a toned down form. The fruit is balanced well with the fresh acidity and slight textural element from extended time on yeast lees.

Wine Information

The growing season for the 2013 vintage was one of minimal stress. The incredibly wet autumn and winter of 2012 meant there was great

soil moisture and then warmer conditions followed in summer and into vintage. All of the chardonnay was in perfect condition and was harvested at optimal ripeness and more importantly, optimal flavour.

Inside Information

Our flagship range. Made in small volumes and produced using only the best parcels of fruit from our top vineyards, these wines showcase the very best that the Hunter Valley has to offer. One of Australia’s oldest and most awarded collections of wine.

The name “vat” stems from the still present large oak maturation vessels which were used by the Tyrrell’s forebears. And the number represents the cask in which that style of wine was originally fermented or matured.
