The estate and the wine |
|
|
Australia, home to some of the world’s finest wines, remains a land of discovery for true connoisseurs. At the heart of this is the Tyrrell’s family, renowned for crafting single-vineyard wines from some of the oldest, ungrafted, century-old vines in the region.
As a flagship estate of the Hunter Valley, Tyrrell’s embodies a 160-year family legacy that has become the stuff of legend. Their collection showcases the region’s hallmark grape varieties, with Semillon and Shiraz leading the way.
Innovators in the art of vinification, the Tyrrell’s revolutionized winemaking with their iconic “vat” system, setting a new standard and inspiring a generation of extraordinary wines. |

Crafted from a vineyard planted in 1908 and an exceptional vintage for the variety, the 2017 White Hunter Valley HVD Vineyard Semillon is a stunning achievement. Delicate hints of honey, white fruits, and green apple are underscored by a fresh, mineral-driven character. The palate is energetic, complex, and impressively structured, with the potential to age beautifully. Awarded 95+/100 by Parker. |
