DESCRIPTION
Tyrrell's Single Vineyard HVD Semillon 2017 comes from a historic Hunter Valley block, renowned for producing Semillon of great precision. Created in 1983, this cuvée was the first wine officially identified as a single vineyard at Tyrrell's. It features 10.5% ABV, pH 3.15, and 6.27 g/L total acidity. Aging potential of 10 years.
On the nose, expressive and subtly evolved, focusing on citrus such as lime, followed by honeyed and lightly toasted notes. On the palate, lively and chiseled, driven by an abundance of citrus and a fine, almost chalky acidity; the finish is long, fresh, and precise. Pairs well with a scallop carpaccio or roasted poultry with herbs.
Tyrrell's, with a 160-year winemaking tradition, is led by Bruce Tyrrell (fourth generation) and Jane, John, and Chris (fifth generation) in the Hunter Valley. Their exceptional 108-hectare vineyard is home to 7 of the region's 11 oldest ungrafted blocks.
REGION
Hunter Valley
Australia
The Hunter Valley is the iconic wine region of New South Wales and one of the oldest in Australia. This is where the story of Australian wine began in the 19th century, and where a unique tradition lives on. The region is especially famous for two styles that have become classics: oak aged Chardonnay and dry, bright, taut Sémillon.
Produced since the 1870s, Hunter Valley Sémillon is seen as the purest expression of the grape in the New World. The best examples, such as those from Tyrrell's, are known for their crystalline freshness when young and their incredible ageing potential, developing notes of honey, toast and beeswax over time.

The HVD evolves beautifully: the citrus makes way for honey and toast, with a tension that is ever-present.
