Tyrrell's just do things right. And they might do Semillon more right than anything else.
The Vat 1 is already wonderfully complex with youthful flavours of citrus zest, lemon curd, and semi-mature characters of toast, almond and honey. The seamless and long palate flows with pristine waxiness and intense, primary fruit. What a wine. The most highly decorated white wine of the last 50 years in Australia, Vat 1 is a true blue Aussie icon.
Grab yourself a little piece of Australian wine history.

"That is the thing about iconic wines; the season may change, but their inherent qualities remain constant. Ready to drink on release."

"Quartz and fine powder texture. Length is convincing, with a little pulpy bitterness. I have a good feeling about this release."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
