[SOLD-OUT] Tyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon 2014

Our flagship range. Made in small volumes and produced using only the best parcels of fruit from our top vineyards, these wines showcase the very best that the Hunter Valley has to offer. One of Australia’s oldest and most awarded collections of wine. The name “vat” stems from the still present large oak maturation vessels which were used by the Tyrrell’s forebears. And the number represents the cask in which that style of wine was originally fermented or matured.


Vineyard: This vintage comes entirely from our Short Flat vineyard. This vineyard features ideal sandy, free draining soils that give this wine its unique character. The oldest block on the Short Flat was planted in 1923.

Vintage Conditions: An almost perfect growing season was experienced for the 2014 vintage, one of the best in recent memory. This meant that all of the fruit we harvested was in pristine condition and had beautiful flavour.

Winemaker’s Notes: After a relatively cool fermentation, the wine spent a minimal time on yeast lees before being bottled early to maintain its freshness. No oak fermentation or maturation.

Tasting Notes: Lifted lime citrus aromas, the palate is seamless showing the typical powerful fruit core which is balanced by the wine’s texture and soft acid profile. This wine shows a length of flavour only produced from great vineyards.
