About this product

Tyrrell'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.

I have been drinking Vat 1 since the 80's. Unfortunately I only have one left, a 2005 vintage. Time for a trip to Tyrrells.

This is it, proven and tested, unique and Australia’s white wine gift to the world. Sadly opened 3 bottles of 2002 for my boy’s birthday and all were duds, due to bad corks. Bloody corks, how many good bottles of wine have been destroyed by

Had a bottle recently. Wish I didn't - far too young. Nevertheless it shows all the hallmarks of a brilliant cellar dweller for the next decade. At the moment the Lovedale is a better drink now or even the Tyrrells Stevens so there is no sh

This is what white wine is all about. Perfectly balanced in allways with crisp citrus flavour. This is a joy to drink and it is such a shame we guzzle down imported over extracted NZ sav blanc when we make perfect wines here by one of the g

2009 vintage. Paid $100 bucks for something worth maybe $30. Pleasant enough, but soooo not worth the money. Try to find the 2005. Come on Dan's...such bad value!
