Baltasis sausas
The Stevens vineyard is the southern-most of our Semillon vineyards and features a combination of light sand and red clay soils. The vineyard is dry grown with the earliest plantings being 1911.
The 2017 vintage was one of the best in recent memory and produced high quality Semillons with exceptional balance between power and elegance. Harvested in the early hours of the morning, the fruit was lightly crushed and pressed, before a relatively cool fermentation. The wine spent minimal time on yeast lees before being bottled early to maintain its freshness. No oak fermentation or maturation.
A richer, softer incarnation of Stevens Semillon. The palate is generous and round, full of ripe citrus intensity, with the classic waxy character that aged Semillons are known for.
Serve at 10-12 °C with scallops, prawn salad or sushi.
Founded in 1858 by English immigrant Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell's Wines is one of Australia's most famous family-owned wineries. The family's vineyards stretch from its historic home in the Hunter Valley near Sydney to the Limestone Coast and Heathcote.
Run by fourth generation family member Bruce Tyrrell, the winery produces some of Australia's most awarded wines including the iconic Vat 1 Semillon.
The Hunter Valley's sandy, alluvial soil is ideal for white grapes. There are 11 vineyards in the region that are more than 100 years old, 7 of which belong to the Tyrrell family.
Tyrrell's is one of the founding members of Australia's First Families of Wine.
Since 1971, Tyrrell's has won more than 5 000 trophies and medals, and was named Wine of the Year by James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion in 2010.
