Region
The 16 wine regions of NSW are diverse in terroir and climate, some of which produce Australia’s leading whites and reds. From world class Semillon in the Hunter Valley, exceptional Riesling in Canberra, mineral Chardonnay from Tumbarumba, fruity Pinot Noir in the Southern Highlands and the most prized cool climate Shiraz of Murrumbateman, there is quality to be found all over this relatively overlooked state. Some other common varieties grown in NSW include Verdelho, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Tyrrell’s is as much a part of the fabric of the Hunter Valley as the Semillon and Shiraz vines they’ve been nurturing since their founder, English-immigrant Edward Tyrrell, first planted them during the mid-19th century.Having lived and breathed wine growing and winemaking in the Hunter Valley for more than 160 years, they've amassed an unrivalled knowledge of what makes the Hunter one of Australia’s, and indeed the world’s, greatest wine growing regions.
