✨ Tekniske specifikationer
First produced in 1963 from dry-grown grapes planted on the sandy, alluvial soils of the Hunter Valley floor, Tyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon is one of Australia's most decorated white wines. This legendary bottling epitomizes the unique Hunter Valley style: harvested early at low sugar levels, fermented cool in stainless steel, and bottled early without any oak contact. In its youth, it is tightly coiled, showing vibrant citrus and flinty minerality. However, through a magic unique to this terroir, it undergoes a profound transformation with age, developing complex layers of toasted brioche, lemongrass, and beeswax that mimic the texture of an oaked wine. It stands as a testament to the patience of the Tyrrell family, who famously hold back releases until the wine begins to show its mature glory.
🍾 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.
