About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of SemillonHunter Valley, AustraliaTyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon is one of Australia's great white wines and has the capacity to age superbly in the bottle. This release continues the recent immaculate line up of Vat 1s that show classic citrus floral and honey aromas. The palate is dry, yet full-flavoured with lovely crisp acidity. Still only a relative baby in terms of Vat 1s longevity, this bottle will reward you for decades to come.

Light bodied white wines have a water-light mouthfeel. Often very pale to light colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Still pale quartz-green; an exceptionally youthful 5-year-old wine, even by the standards of semillon; cut grass, herb, lemongrass and a strong minerally thrust drive the long palate. The end-point of its development is anyone's guess.

The 2009 Vat 1 Semillon opens to apple notes that are barely showing any evolution and have a little peachy, floral lift to the nose. Very primary and fruity flavors that have a lovely balance emerge on the palate and are quite expressive along with the approachable acidity. It has a long, pure fruit finish.
