Region: Hunter Valley, New South Wales
Variety: Semillon
Vintage: 2021
Country: Australia
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
The latest release of this true Aussie white-wine icon is a return to a more classic Hunter style. A little finer, linear and citrus based than the richer 2019. There was no 2020 due to the fires, but 2021 brought much needed rain to the aquifers of the Hunter and the resultant wine is pure ‘classic’ Hunter Sem. A lovely wine, starting to show some evolution and will be a wine that ages gracefully. Lovely stuff, your cellar needs this.
Wine Reviews
“"Vat 1 is always built for long-term aging, and this is certainly one set to age so well. Aromas of pure lemon juice and peel. The taut, lemon-drenched palate is a thrilling thing to taste now, but is really made for the cellar. Impressive! Drink over the next decade or more."
