The Wine
Sourced from old-vine, dry-grown vineyards planted on sandy, free-draining soils in 1923, the 2019 Vat 1 is a testament to Tyrrell’s mastery of Semillon. Its purity and clarity shine through understated, time-honoured craft. A cellar must have wine.
Cellared Says
Elegant yet seriously intense, Vat 1 2019 opens with citrus blossom and flinty nuance, supported by a pure energy and focused acid zip. Its broad, richly layered and utter delicious. Remarkable length. A true Aussie white-wine icon and the 2019 does not disappoint.
Wine Reviews
“Powerful citrus flavours with micro hints of flint, wet river stones, lemon curd and greengages. A succulent mid-palate and ultra-cleansing finish. Beginning its evolution; refined and graceful.”
97 Points – Toni Paterson MW, Halliday Wine Companion
“White peach and citrus, lemon-balm perfume. Very fine, chalky texture, nervy and grainy on the finish. Quiet confidence and explosive length.”
96 Points – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
