Tyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon 2018

Critical Acclaim: 97 pts James Suckling. 

About the Wine: Vat 1 Semillon only ever comes from the oldest and best blocks. The vines are all dry grown, on their own roots, and date back to 1923. The 2017 Vintage was one of the best in recent memory and has produced wines of the highest quality. Solid rains in winter and spring meant the vines had constant access to water and the warmer weather in the new year meant all of the fruit was in near perfect condition and ripeness when it was harvested.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: With lifted lime citrus aromas the palate is seamless, showing the typical powerful fruit core which is balanced by the wine’s texture and soft acid profile. This wine shows a length of flavour only produced from great vineyards.

"A very complete aged semillon with sliced lemon, heather, green mango, and crushed stone aromas that follow through to a full body with a crunchy palate and cement and marble notes. Tight at the end. Lightly nutty. Plenty of flavor. The vines were planted in 1923. Drink now."- James Suckling. 

Varietal: Semillon.
