WINE DESCRIPTION

Tyrrell's HVD Single Vineyard Sémillon is a white wine produced by the iconic Australian winery, Tyrrell's. The grapes are sourced from the Hunter Valley Distillery vineyard in the Hunter Valley appellation, known for its unique climate conditions where the early harvest to avoid rainfall results in lower alcohol wines with fantastic freshness. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, allowing the natural flavors and aromas of the grapes to shine through. The resulting wine is a classic Hunter Valley Sémillon, with a pale straw color, delicate citrus notes, and a crisp, refreshing acidity. It is a perfect match for seafood and light dishes and can be enjoyed now or aged for decades.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Tyrrell's HVD Vineyard Semillon offers fantastic quality for the price whilst capturing the very essence of the style of Hunter Valley Semillon.Almost water-white in color when young, the nose display notes of lemon and lime with a hint of wax. The palate is light-bodied with exceptionally vibrant acidity. Drink now with oysters or allow this wine to develop complex notes of buttered toast over the next 20 years.
