Product Notes

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.

Tasting Notes

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.
