Founded in 1858, Tyrrell's Wines is a cornerstone of Australia's winemaking heritage, located in the renowned Hunter Valley. Established by Edward Tyrrell, this family-owned winery has pioneered key developments in the industry, such as the Private Bin system and Australia's first commercial Chardonnay. Today, under the leadership of Bruce Tyrrell, the winery continues to produce award-winning single-vineyard wines (like their iconic Vat 1 Semillon), celebrated for their quality and sustainability. The HVD Vineyard Semillon is sourced from Tyrrell’s historic HVD Vineyard, planted in 1908. This 2018 Semillon comes from 110-year-old vines rooted in light sandy loams on a creek flat at 81 metres elevation. Vivid green in hue, this opens with a complex nose that weaves ripe citrus with a subtle, savory edge balanced by fine-boned acidity and a delicate, chalky finish. Drink now or age for many years to come.
