Tasting Notes

Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Semillon 2012 is an iconic expression of Hunter Valley Semillon, crafted exclusively from fruit grown on Tyrrell’s finest old-vine, dry-grown vineyards. Renowned for its purity, precision and exceptional longevity, Vat 1 has helped establish Australian Semillon as one of the world’s great age-worthy white wines.

Sourced from a premium private cellar, this mature 2012 vintage reveals the remarkable evolution of classic Hunter Valley Semillon. Bottle age brings added depth and complexity, with vibrant citrus and herbal characters developing into richer layers of toast, honey and lanolin. Beneath it all, natural freshness, fine structure and distinctive regional character remain beautifully intact.

Semillon doesn’t get any better than this. Refined, complex and highly collectible, Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Semillon 2012 is a distinguished example of premium Australian white wine and a superb expression of one of the Hunter Valley’s most celebrated varieties.

Critic Scores

Five years in bottle is the magic moment when the first phase of moving to maturity is completed. This magic moment sees the palate swelling with toast and honey components clasped to the bosom by minerally acidity the wine will never lose. It's a great match for rich seafood dishes. Drink by 2032.

Beautiful aromas of lemon peel, light beeswax and lemon grass here. There’s a light toasty edge and lemon blossom, too. The palate is elegant, fine and long, really refined and succulent. Very sleek and elegant. Has more to come. Drink now. Screw cap

This wine offers bright elements of flowers and lemons that are highlighted by white pepper, lemon thyme and a fresh green vegetal note. The palate is laser focused and tightly wound, with a strong line of acidity beautifully balancing a silky smooth texture. Still very much in its youth, this will age well.
