Established by Edward Tyrrell in 1858, Tyrrell’s is one of Australia’s pre eminent family owned wine companies and is home to some of Australia’s most awarded wines. Having lived and breathed wine growing and winemaking in the Hunter Valley for more than 160 years, Tyrrell’s have amassed an unrivalled knowledge of what makes the Hunter one of Australia’s, and indeed the world’s, greatest winegrowing regions. The Tyrrell family helped to pioneer what are now two of Australia’s favourite wine varieties – Chardonnay and Pinot Noir – and have been instrumental in establishing Hunter Valley Semillon as one of the world’s iconic wine styles. Tyrrell’s was among the founding members of Australia’s First Families of Wine, an organisation that helps to build awareness of premium Australian wines and their heritage. Handed down through four generations, the company is now managed by Bruce Tyrrell. With Bruce’s son and fifth generation, Chris, now involved in the business, Tyrrell’s will continue to remain family run, with each generation focused on passing the business to the next in better condition than they received it, all the while being guided by Edward Tyrrell’s motto: “Nothing is great unless it is good.”
