The 2016 Tyrrell’s Vat 47 Chardonnay, sourced from the historic Hunter Valley Short Flat vineyard, is a benchmark expression of modern Australian Chardonnay. It opens with aromas of white peach, grapefruit, and lemon zest, layered with subtle notes of struck flint, cashew, and nougat.
The palate is precise and elegant, combining citrus and stone fruit brightness with creamy oak integration and a fine, chalky texture. A vibrant acid line underpins the wine, giving it freshness and length, while delicate savoury complexity hints at its age-worthiness.
Serving & Cellaring:
An ideal match with roast chicken, shellfish, or creamy pasta dishes. Beautifully balanced now, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next decade.
