Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Semillon 2015

The most awarded and recognised Semillon from the Hunter Valley. Tyrrell’s Winemakers Selection Vat 1 Semillon 2015 is sourced from two of the best blocks of Semillon, the oldest of which was planted in 1923. The dry farmed, well drained soils are ideal conditions for growing Semillion. Grapes are gently hand-picked in the early hours of the morning. The fruit is then lightly crushed and pressed before undergoing a cool fermentation before spending a short time on it’s lees to maintain freshness; no oak fermentation or maturation is used. Beautifully vibrant with a core of juicy citrus and lime fruits balanced by subtle notes of runny honey and toast. The acid profile gives this wine its impeccable length, balance and elegance. Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Semillon 2015 is remarkably fresh for it’s age and built for a long life in the cellar.

“Hand-picked in the early morning, lightly pressed before relatively cool fermentation. This is still in its infancy but is gloriously whole bunch, which guarantees youth at 10yo, maturity at 20, and yet further down the track when to drink?” – 97 Pts, James Halliday, Wine Companion
