✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Tyrrell's Pokolbin Hills Vineyard Semillon is a distinctive single-vineyard expression that showcases a unique terroir within the Hunter Valley. Planted in 1970 on the contoured slopes of the Pokolbin Hills, this vineyard departs from the traditional sandy creek-bed soils of the region, featuring instead a soil profile of red clay over limestone. This unique geological makeup imparts a distinct mineral drive, structural tension, and a slightly more generous fruit profile in its youth compared to its sandy-soil siblings. Hand-harvested and gently basket-pressed, the juice undergoes cool fermentation in stainless steel without any oak contact, preserving the pristine, laser-like purity of the fruit. Over time, this wine undergoes a magical transformation, shedding its austere, lemony youth to develop complex layers of toasted brioche, beeswax, and lemongrass, a testament to the legendary aging potential of Hunter Valley Semillon.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Tyrrell's blev grundlagt i 1858 af Edward Tyrrell og er et af Australiens ældste og mest prestigefyldte familiedrevne vinhuse, smukt beliggende for foden af Brokenback Range i Hunter Valley i New South Wales. Vinhuset har været i familiens hænder i fem generationer og har spillet en skelsættende rolle i udviklingen af moderne australsk vinavl. Det var blandt andet her, landets første kommercielle Chardonnay så dagens lys med den legendariske Vat 47 i 1971. Vingården er fortsat dedikeret til traditionelle vinifikationsmetoder med minimal intervention samt bevarelsen af historiske, rodægte vinstokke, der giver vine med en enestående regional karakter. Tyrrell's er internationalt anerkendt for sin ikoniske Vat 1 Semillon, der er berømt for sit fantastiske lagringspotentiale, såvel som for sine elegante, karakterfulde Hunter Valley Shiraz-vine og mousserende vine.
