A classic Hunter Valley Semillon from Tyrrell’s, the 2024 vintage is sourced from a small selection of some of the estate’s top Semillon vineyards. Most of the vines are dry-grown and have an average age of 40 years.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is vibrant, with abundant citrus fruits and delicate floral notes. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied yet intense, offering concentrated citrus flavours, great length, and a brisk, refreshing acidity. A short period on yeast lees adds subtle complexity and mouthfeel, enhancing the wine’s elegant structure.
Winemaking:
After harvesting in the cool of the night, the grapes were gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine then spent a brief time on yeast lees to gain additional texture and complexity, reflecting the careful, restrained approach typical of Tyrrell’s Semillon.
Food Pairing:
Excellent with fresh oysters, prawns, sushi, ceviche, lightly cooked fish, and green salads. Its crisp acidity also complements subtly flavoured poultry or vegetarian dishes.
ABV: 11.2%
