Description
The Semillon on the Belford vineyard was planted back in 1933 and is one of the finest sites in the northern part of the Hunter for the region's signature grape.
It's a vineyard that has a signature purity and subtlety that presents in its Semillon, almost irrespective of the vagaries of vintage.
Released as a semi-mature wine so you can drink now or cellar for another decade-plus, should you wish to. This is one of the jewels in the Single Site crown from the Tyrrell family and a little piece of Hunter history that has stood the test of time.
94 Points
"The warm, dry, low-yielding '18 vintage produced semillons that are distinctive in style, with ripe, concentrated flavours and generous fruit. This Belford has gorgeous preserved-lemon aromatics with some fresh citrus curd. The palate is laden with sweet pear and juicy melon flavours, and although it is a riper style, the wine still has the fruit purity and palate softness for which the vineyard is renowned. The finish is long and delicious, with just a hint of nuttiness on the close."
