The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Australia, home to some of the world’s finest wines, remains a land of discovery for true connoisseurs. At the heart of this is the Tyrrell’s family, renowned for crafting single-vineyard wines from some of the oldest, ungrafted, century-old vines in the region.

As a flagship estate of the Hunter Valley, Tyrrell’s embodies a 160-year family legacy that has become the stuff of legend. Their collection showcases the region’s hallmark grape varieties, with Semillon and Shiraz leading the way.

Innovators in the art of vinification, the Tyrrell’s revolutionized winemaking with their iconic “vat” system, setting a new standard and inspiring a generation of extraordinary wines.
Wine The 2017 White Hunter Valley Vat 1 Semillon is a wine built for long aging and is only now beginning to reveal its potential. Subtle notes of honey, white pepper, and fresh lemon emerge on the nose, while the palate showcases a rich yet nuanced structure that deepens and extends these flavours. A truly remarkable wine—described as “prodigious” by the American critic. Ready to enjoy now. Rated 97/100 by Parker.
Vinification On sandy soil, vines dating back to 1908. Hand harvested. Direct pressing, some time on lees. No fermentation or ageing in wood.
