✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Tyrrell's Hunter Valley Semillon is a definitive expression of one of the wine world's most unique styles. Sourced from historic, dry-grown vineyards planted on the sandy alluvial flat soils of the Hunter Valley, this wine is crafted with minimal intervention. The grapes are harvested early at low sugar levels to preserve natural acidity, followed by cool fermentation in stainless steel and early bottling without any oak contact. In its youth, the wine is vibrant, taut, and brimming with fresh citrus and lemongrass. Over time, it undergoes a legendary transformation, developing rich, toasty, honeyed complexities that mimic oak aging. This style was pioneered by the Tyrrell family, who have championed the grape's remarkable longevity and sense of place for generations.
🍾 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.
