Der Tyrrells Wines VAT 1 Semillon Hunter Valley 2014 ist einer der renommiertesten Weissweine Australiens. Die Kritiker überschlagen sich mit Lobeshymnen und verteilen dementsprechend Bepunktungen, völlig zurecht sogar, hier wird nicht übertrieben! Handverlesenes Traubengut aus Tyrrells besten Lagen, wird der Tyrrells Wines VAT 1 Semillon Hunter Valley 2014 schon seit dem Jahrgang 1963 erfolgreich vinifiziert. Wer der bordelaiser Rebsorte Semilloon zugetan ist, aber keine überladenen, zu wuchtigen Weissweine mag, ist hier auf der Gold richtigen Seite.
Die Stimmen der Kritiker:
“‘2013 and 2014 will be top vintages’, states winemaker Andrew Spinaze, ‘it’s a real Vat 1 character; very intense, robust almost. Intensity is at the highest here in 2014’. Interestingly, the winemaking team is talking shifting production across to the basket press, for more phenolic work and complexity of texture. A changing of style, or reverting to" Compact and powerful wine. Such focus and persistence too. Waxy and floral notes in perfume, citrus to the max. Purity of flavour, light juicy citrus, squeaky waxiness in texture, big hit of flint-like minerality, almost a rock chisel and then green apple. Incredible power. Incredible focus. Incredible young release.” (Wine Front, 96+/100)
“A fantastic semillon, this is deep and dry with lemon-curd, salt, stone and pear-skin character. Full and energetic. So much going on here. It goes on for minutes. Block of marble. Drink or hold.” (James Suckling, 95/100)
“Now cruising towards the first stage of maturity, the balance of the mouthfeel is exceptional. It is this that will underwrite the long period as the changes of age become less obvious, but incrementally are
spectacular.” (James Halliday, 95/100)
“Creamy lanolin and ripe lemon aromas, lovely nose. It's rich and full of flavour, deep and generous, with Sunlight Soap lemony notes and some nettles. Intense and deep. A real mouthful of wine. Concentrated but soft and retains its subtlety.” (Huon Hooke, 94/100)
