Tyrrells flagship semillon and one of Australia's most awarded white wines, Vat 1 Hunter Semillon, epitomised the benefits of patient bottle ageing that transforms this unoaked wine into a masterpiece.
First produced in 1963, the Vat 1 is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks before it quietly spends a few years 'resting' in bottles.
2012 is a classic Hunter Valley semillon showing a tightly structured palate with considerable length and breadth of citrus fruit flavours. This wine is only just beginning to evolve and show a hint of toasty, bottle aged complexity. An iconic Australian wine from what is a classic vintage for Hunter Valley semillon. As usual, a young Vat 1 with great balance that is built for a long life in the cellar.
