Tyrrells Vat 47 Chardonnay Magnum 1.5L 2019

Tyrrell's family has been producing some of Australia's most award-winning wines since 1971, including the iconic Vat 1 Semillon. The Vat 47 Chardonnay Magnum 1.5L 2019 is another one of their top-notch products, made entirely from Chardonnay vines planted in 1968 by Murray Tyrrell at their Short Flat vineyard.

The wine's dry conditions and perfect condition fruit make it stand out from other vintages. The grapes were handpicked, then basket-pressed immediately, and cold-settled for two days before being racked into stainless-steel tanks for fermentation. The fermenting juice was then transferred to French oak barriques to complete fermentation and maturation before bottling in October.

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

This particular product comes in a magnum-sized bottle, holding 1.5 liters of the award-winning wine. The larger bottle size not only looks impressive and grand on any dinner table, but it also provides benefits to the wine itself. Magnum-sized bottles have a slower aging process, resulting in a more developed and refined flavor profile. The larger bottle size also reduces the wine's surface area, preventing oxidation and keeping the wine fresher for longer.
