Tyrrell's "Vat 1" Semillon 2018, 750ml

Fruit from dry-grown vineyards, mainly from the Short Flat vineyard, where the oldest plantings date back to 1923.

The free-run juice was then fermented at cool temperatures in stainless-steel tanks, where the wine stayed until bottling.

Tasting Note:

Lime and vanilla, subtle perfume, stony things, and immaculately clean. It’s soft and subdued, a little bit juicy and round, yet has a cool and pure ‘minerally’ acidity that gives it quiet confidence. Quartz and fine powder texture. Length is convincing, with a little pulpy bitterness.
