The 2012 Tyrrells Vat 1 Semillon is a true reflection of the Hunter Valleys renowned ability to produce world-class Semillon. Crafted by one of Australias most respected wineries, this vintage showcases the elegance, complexity, and aging potential that define Vat 1.

Tasting Notes

With over a decade of careful aging, this Semillon presents an alluring golden hue and a complex aromatic profile. Expect vibrant notes of lemon curd, lime zest, and toasted brioche, interwoven with subtle hints of honey and lanolin. On the palate, it delivers a beautifully structured balance of bright citrus flavors, delicate minerality, and a lingering, crisp acidity, leading to a refined and long-lasting finish.

Winemaking

Hand-picked from some of the oldest and best Semillon vineyards in the Hunter Valley, the grapes undergo a meticulous winemaking process. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel to preserve the purity of fruit, followed by bottle aging to develop its signature depth and complexity.

Cellaring & Food Pairing

A benchmark in Australian Semillon, the 2012 Vat 1 is drinking superbly now but will continue to evolve gracefully for another 1015 years. Best enjoyed with fresh seafood, oysters, grilled fish, or creamy poultry dishes, complementing its zesty acidity and layered texture.
