Tyrrell's Single Vineyard Stevens Semillon 2012

This wine was harvested from grapes grown in the Glenoak vineyard in the Hunter Valley. The soils are red clay on light sand and the wine was picked slightly earlier than the 2011.

Tyrrell's Single Vineyard Stevens Semillon 2012

For a wine with such low alcohol this packs a punch. It possesses lemon pulp, lemon grass, crushed flowers and spice flavours on a palate that is so torte and tensile it is scary. There is a huge amount of richness through the mid-palate on an otherwise light and bright flavour ride. Even though I think it is possible to drink this now it will show its best with 12 to 17 years under its belt.
