Tyrrell's Vat 1 Hunter Semillon 2009

An older library vintage of Australia's most decorated Semillon, this 2009 Tyrrell's Vat 1 shows exactly why the Hunter Valley style is built to age — bottled young and unassuming, then transformed over 15+ years into something far more complex.

Deep gold, it now shows honeyed, toasty, waxy notes over its original citrus core, with the Hunter's signature racy acidity keeping it vibrant despite the age.

Tasting notes: Semillon, 100%, unoaked, aged release. Deep gold; honey and toast; vibrant, mature finish.

Food pairing: Roast chicken, aged hard cheeses, or Chinese roast duck.
