Tyrrell’s "HVD" Semillon 2019 is one of the Hunter Valley's finest single-vineyard Semillons. It is sourced exclusively from the historic HVD Vineyard (Hunter Valley Distillery Vineyard), planted in 1908 and recognised as one of the region's most distinguished vineyard sites. The old vines and ancient sandy loam soils produce a wine of remarkable concentration, mineral tension, and longevity. Made from 100% Semillon, the wine is fermented entirely in stainless steel and bottled without any oak influence to preserve the variety's pure citrus character and precise expression of terroir. In its youth, it displays vibrant lime and lemon flavours, while extended bottle ageing reveals the classic Hunter Valley Semillon notes of honey, toast, and beeswax. The exceptional 2019 vintage offers outstanding balance and the potential to evolve gracefully for decades.

The nose reveals vibrant aromas of lime, lemon zest, grapefruit, and green apple, complemented by white blossom, wet stone, chalky minerality, and delicate beeswax nuances. On the palate, the wine is concentrated, vibrant, and precisely structured, with bright acidity, pronounced minerality, and impeccable balance. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, with lingering citrus, saline, and subtle honey notes that will continue to evolve with bottle age.

An outstanding pairing for oysters, scallops, lobster, grilled white fish, sushi, sashimi, and fresh goat’s cheese. Its vibrant acidity and mineral precision enhance the natural sweetness of seafood, while the honeyed complexity that develops with age also makes it an excellent match for richer fish dishes.
