The nose shows lifted strawberry and Asian spice with a hint of
stalk character.
Maturation
11 days of gentle extraction on skins followed by maturation for eight months in French oak
barriques. No finings were used.
Appearance
Medium colour density with a bright purple hue.
Palate
The palate shows a strong core of sweet fruit with a soft tannin profile balanced by fine acidity.
A food friendly style of Pinot Noir to be enjoyed over the medium term.
Vinification
Handpicked and sorted in the vineyard, natural fermentation in stainless steel and open top vessels with 20%
whole bunch. The remainder of the fruit was destemmed, not crushed, and transferred to the vats manually rather
than being pumped. This process preserves as many whole berries as possible, which greatly helps the aromatics
of the resulting wine.
Vintage Notes
Abundant winter rains and favourable growing conditions produced near record crop levels and pristine fruit for
Vintage 2025, producing Pinot Noir that is medium-bodied, bright and intensely flavoured.

At Tyrrell’s our focus is always on quality and authenticity, crafting wines that speak of their origins. Over five
generations, we’ve honed our craft and built a portfolio of premium wines, but every now and then, we get
the opportunity to try something different. Thanks to our long history, we’ve built up relationships with other
growers and sometimes we’re offered a great batch of grapes. Our Special Release range is for just these wines -
limited production one-offs and trial batches, or just something unique or different.
