The 2005 Tyrrell’s Vat 47 Chardonnay from the Hunter Valley reflects both the pedigree of the Short Flat vineyard and the finesse of one of Australia’s most iconic Chardonnays. This vintage opens with aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, roasted cashew, and hints of flinty minerality, framed by subtle French oak.
The palate is elegant and finely structured, combining stone fruit purity with layers of nougat, oatmeal, and gentle spice. A bright acid line carries the flavours long and clean, showcasing balance and precision. Approaching its peak, this wine demonstrates the cellar-worthy nature that defines Vat 47.
Serving & Cellaring:
