WINE DESCRIPTION

Tyrrell's Vat 1 Sémillon is a highly sought-after wine produced by the renowned Australian winery, Tyrrell's. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Hunter Valley appellation, which is known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions for Sémillon. The vineyard features sandy soils and a warm climate, which contribute to the wine's distinct flavor profile. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, with the wine being aged in French oak barrels for a period of time. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced and complex expression of Sémillon, with notes of citrus, honey, and toast. It is a perfect example of the Hunter Valley style of Sémillon, which is known for its ability to age gracefully over many years.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Tyrrell's Vat 1 Sémillon is a light-bodied and bright white wine, with aromas of lemon, lime, and grapefruit that are complemented by hints of honey and subtle oak.On the palate, the wine is crisp and vibrant, with a creamy texture and balanced acidity. Flavors of apricot and honey combine with a hint of toast on the finish. This is a great wine for sipping or pairing with lighter seafood dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Tyrrell's

Region: Hunter Valley

Australia's Hunter Valley is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the state of New South Wales, the Hunter Valley is renowned for its Semillon and Shiraz wines, as well as its picturesque landscape. James Busby shipped pre-phylloxera European vine cuttings to the Hunter Valley in the 1830s and by the following decade there were over 500 acres (200 hectares) of vineyard in the country. The establishment of the renowned Lake's Folly in 1963 is considered the first new vineyard planted here in the 20th Century and today there are over 150 wineries in the Hunter Valley.
