Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Semillon 1994
Beginning to reveal some genuine maturity, this complex and deeply layered semillon has acquired plenty of richness and depth. Its smoky, meaty bouquet reveals nuances of buttered toast and dried flowers over rich notes of melon-like fruit. Its intense, exceptionally long core of assertive flavour drives onwards to a savoury, slightly earthy finish tightly wound around a fabulously taut acidity.

Winery
Tyrrell's
Tyrrell's is a custodian of the traditional Hunter Valley wine styles of early-harvested, unwooded semillon and spicy, savoury shiraz of medium to full weight. Recent years have shown very real improvements in the depth of flavour and structure of its red wines, which have scaled new heights with the (hopefully not) unrepeatable 2014 vintage, certainly the region's finest since 1965. Led by the Vats 1 and 47, the white wines continue to deliver excellence, regionality and longevity. The Vat whites are released with genuine age, but in reality still demand more time in the cellar before opening. The Tyrrell folio is steadily increasing with the addition of more individual vineyard wines that explore some of the region's finest terroirs.
