How Chardonnay jumped a fence
21 December 2007
The late Murray Davey Tyrrell was widely hailed as the father of Australian chardonnay. With cuttings he claimed he once "knocked off" from a neighbouring Hunter Valley vineyard, Tyrrell - who died in 2000 a few months shy of his 80th birthday - planted a small patch of chardonnay up the road on his Pokolbin property that kick-started Australia's thirst for the regal Burgundian grape.

Top 10 Wineries
7 January 2008
Tyrrell's Vineyard has grown over 150 years to become one of Australia's most successful wineries. If you make the trek to the Broke Road vineyard be sure to try the Tyrrell's signature verdelho.

Tyrrell's Wines
12 March 2008
As Tyrrell's enters its 150th year and the fifth generation joins the family-owned business, Bruce Tyrrell talks through a few of their achievements and how they will celebrate their anniversary year.

In one of life's fortuitous incidents, that land has now become recognised as some of the Hunter Valley's finest vineyard land and the basis for the development of Tyrrell's Wines, as it is today.
