Tyrrell's, Winemaker Selection, 'Vat 1' Semillon 2016
DESCRIPTION
Tyrrell's Wines is a leading Australian producer based for more than 160 years in the Hunter Valley. This Semillon is a classic of the region. With lifted lime citrus aromas the palate is seamless, showing the typical powerful fruit core which is balanced by the wine’s texture and soft acid profile. This wine shows a length of flavour only produced from great vineyards.
REGION
Hunter Valley
Australia
The Hunter Valley is the flagship wine region of New South Wales and one of the oldest in Australia. It is here that the story of Australian wine began in the 19th century—and where a unique winemaking tradition continues to thrive. The region is especially renowned for two iconic styles: oak-aged Chardonnay and dry, vibrant, and taut Semillon.
The latter, produced since the 1870s, is considered the purest expression of the grape variety in the New World. The best Hunter Valley Semillons, such as those from Tyrrell’s, are known for their crystalline freshness in their youth and their remarkable ageing potential, developing notes of honey, toast, and beeswax over time.
