TASTING NOTE: "This is a complex and chameleonic wine. Initially quiet on pouring, it evolves in the glass to reveal a wildly characterful wine with many layers. Buttery notes and honeyed lime intertwine with greengages, flint and lemon thyme. The palate offers enviable harmony, with no edgy acidity, allowing the flavours to flow seamlessly. Serve it with food and it takes on yet another dimension." 95 Points - Toni Paterson, Halliday Wine Companion
- ABOUT THE WINE: Stevens Semillon comes from the Tyrrell family-owned Stevens Vineyard on Marrowbone Road, Pokolbin, our southernmost Semillon vineyard. It features a combination of light, sandy loams and darker, heavier transitional soils with the oldest plantings being from 1911. The 2019 vintage in the Hunter Valley was another high-quality year across all varieties and was a stellar follow up to 2018. Continued dry conditions meant cropping levels were slightly lower than normal however all the fruit was in perfect condition. Stevens was one of the first Semillon blocks that we picked in 2019, taking place in the early hours of the morning on 26 and 27 January. The grapes were then lightly pressed, and the free-run juice was fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The wine stayed in these tanks until bottling in early July 2019. Tyrrell's

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: One of the most successful family wineries, a humble operation for the first 110 years of its life that has grown out of all recognition over the past 40 years. Vat 1 Semillon is one of the most dominant wines in the Australian show system and Vat 47 Chardonnay is one of the pacesetters for this variety. Tyrrell's has an awesome portfolio of single-vineyard semillons released when 5-6 years old. Halliday Wine Companion
