Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Hunter Valley Semillon 2008
Illustrating the rewards of patience, the extended bottle ageing of this unoaked wine transforms its character. Made with Semillon grapes from old blocks of vines planted on their own rootstock in light sandy soils, Vat 1, which was first produced in 1963, is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks before it spends a few years of rest in bottle.
The result, say its makers, is a “classic Hunter Valley Semillon with an aromatic nose and a tightly structured palate with considerable length and breadth of citrus-fruit flavours”. Give it a few more years and you’ll start to see toasty notes emerge.
