Tyrrell's

English immigrant Edward Tyrrell settled at Ashmans in the Hunter Valley in 1858, building an ironbark hut and planting Shiraz and Semillon. His first vintage came in 1864; five generations on, the estate remains in family hands, with Bruce and Chris Tyrrell continuing the work.

Murray Tyrrell began selecting vineyard parcels for the Private Bin wines in 1961, followed by the first Vat 1 Semillon from Short Flat Vineyard in 1963. The family’s holdings include blocks of own-rooted vines more than a century old. In 2023, its Hunter Valley winery and owned or managed vineyards gained Sustainable Winegrowing Australia certification.
