Description

Stevens Semillon comes from the now Tyrrell’s owned Stevens Vineyard on Marrowbone Road, Pokolbin, our southernmost Semillon vineyard. This vineyard features a combination of light, sandy loams and darker, heavier transitional soils. The oldest plantings on this vineyard are from 1911.
This year, Stevens Semillon shows a vibrant citrus lift, along with its typical mineral edge. The palate is tightly bound and has a racy citrus fruit profile that is tight, elegant, and impeccably long with an almost sherbet-like character. One of the better Stevens Semillon releases in recent memory. Drinking very well at six years of age but will evolve gracefully over the next five to ten years.

Tyrrells

One of Australia's oldest family-owned wineries, Tyrrell's is an icon in the nation's wine industry. With vineyards from its home in the Hunter Valley, to South Australia and Victoria, the family has sourced premium parcels of fruit with which to continue their heritage of fine wine. The Tyrrell's name has been synonymous with the wine industry since its inception in 1858 by English immigrant Edward Tyrrell.

Today, the winery is managed by Bruce Tyrrell, a 4th generation family member and the head winemaker. In 1989, Bruce completed his first vintage of Semillon and named it 'Vat 1'. Upon its release to the market as an aged Semillon seven years later, it swept the awards shows and is now considered the benchmark of that wine style. As a family endeavour, Bruce and his wife Pauline's children are also involved; Jane is a sales representative of the brand, while her brother Chris as assistant winemaker, helps his father make the wines that have captured the global wine industry's attention.
