Tyrrell's Wines Winemaker's Selection VAT 1 Semillon is a celebrated Australian wine, known for its elegance and longevity. Crafted in Hunter Valley from century-old vineyards, it exhibits a pale hue marrying tantalising accents of lime and lemongrass. It has a crisp acidity, contributing to its exquisite structure and potential for ageing. Subtly complex, the elegant palate gradually unveils a delicate harmony of lemons and green apple, finishing with a refreshing minerality. A vintage that truly honours the traditional characteristics of Semillon, it pairs seamlessly with seafood. An unarguable masterpiece, it showcases the Tyrrell's family passion for winemaking prowess.
