✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Stevens Vineyard Semillon is a brilliant testament to the long-standing partnership between Tyrrell's and the Stevens family, who have cultivated grapes in the Hunter Valley for generations. Sourced from the iconic Stevens Vineyard, which features classic light, sandy loam soils over clay, this single-vineyard wine captures the pure essence of Hunter Valley Semillon. The fruit is harvested early at low sugar levels to preserve natural acidity, then gently pressed and fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks without any oak contact. In its youth, the wine is incredibly vibrant, tight, and driven by zesty citrus and mineral notes. Over time, it undergoes a magical transformation, developing rich, complex characters of toasted brioche, honey, and nuts, despite never seeing a stave of oak.
🍾 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.
