'We are tasting the Tyrrell's 2006 Vat 1 semillon, a Hunter Valley wine which, at sevenyears old, is still a juvenile, easily capable of another decade of good drinking. Its longevity is at the very heart of what makes it so astounding. To think of it as a one-year-old is a different story: gangly, acid, water and neutral flavour, not astounding. Vat 1 also shows us you don't have to pay big dollars for greatness.' - Canberra Times, Jeni Port, 10 Apr 2013. Extract from 'What makes a great wine?'

The freshness of this wine demonstrates why Hunter semillon is possibly the most under-rated wine style in the world. The aromas centre around lemon, lime and fresh hay, and the palate is decidedly linear, based on a spine of acidity. This exceptional wine, at six years of age, is still at least five away from its optimum drinking window. 'Little or no colour change; the bouquet is distinctly aromatic, but still focused on primary fruit, not toast or honey; the palate is electrifying, drawing saliva from the mouth with its mix of unsweetened lemon juice/lemon zest and life-giving acidity, the DNA of great Semillon.10.9% alcohol.' (2009 Vintage) - 97 points. - James Halliday February 2016.

Vat 47 from the Hunter Valley has a silky bouquet of melon stone fruit and creamy oak that is followed by a palate of extraordinary balance and length. An absolute classic and will only get better with some medium term ageing.

Aromatics: This Riesling is tinted of vibrant notes of lemon, with the fragrance of coins, orange and kumquat. Ripe nectarine, flowers, honey and minerals. Palate: Beautifully dense wine with lively flavours of lemon, apple, and ripe peach. Lovely tension and length with a seducing balance.

Aromatics: Notes of candied lemon, ginger, saline character and mineral notes. Palate: Rich and textural, with a juicy candied lemons flavour. Beautifully elegant and saline with a great finish making you salivate.

Aromatics: Flowers, fleshy ripe white fruits and sweet spices. A nuances and complex nose with plenty of warmth and generosity. Palate: Structured white with plenty of power and concentration. With this wine it’s like putting the volume up everything is deeper and more detailed. The balance and acidity in the wine is beautiful and the length stunning.
