2022 Tyrrell’s Vat 47 Chardonnay Hunter Valley

2022 Tyrrell’s Vat 47 Chardonnay Hunter Valley – Vat 47 Chardonnay comes entirely from Tyrrell’s Short Flat vineyard, where the original Chardonnay vines were planted by Murray Tyrrell in the late 1960’s.

All of the fruit was handpicked before immediately being basket-pressed. The juice was then cold settled for two days before being racked to another stainless-steel tank to begin fermentation. The fermenting juice was then transferred to French oak barriques to complete fermentation and maturation before bottling in October.

This year’s Vat 47 exhibits a complex nose of white stone fruit, grapefruit and delicate flowers, with only a hint of high-quality French oak in the background. The palate is medium-bodied and shows sweet Chardonnay fruit balanced by textural elements, derived from the solids ferment and extended time on yeast lees.

Cellaring – 5-10 years.
