Wine was not the focus until the 1960s when Murray Tyrrell set up a cellar door and a mail order business, based around special selection wines under numbered Vat labels. Among these, from 1963, was the Vat 1 Semillon that has become one of the most awarded white wines in Australia. Tyrrells also pioneered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with some of the earliest commercial releases of each in the country in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTyrrells started a program of investigation of the suitability of his vineyards to particular varieties and purchased ancient vineyards when they became available. This led to the Sacred Sites range all from vines over 100 years old. Next generation Bruce Tyrrell hid 1,000 cases of 1989 Vat 1 from his father, releasing it in 1996 to show the benefits of age on Hunter Semillon. The practice continues to this day. Tyrrells owns a large proportion of the oldest vineyards in the Hunter – the other main landowner of old vineyards is Mount Pleasant – and produces outstanding wines from these, sadly in very limited quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTyrrell’s Single Vineyard HVD Semillon is sourced from the historic HVD vineyard in the Hunter Valley, planted in 1908. One of Australia’s most celebrated Semillon sites, the wine is crafted from low-yielding old vines that deliver remarkable purity and intensity. Fermented and matured in stainless steel to preserve its pristine character, it is a wine of finesse and precision. In its youth, it shows vibrant citrus and freshness, with the structure and depth to evolve beautifully over time into a complex, textural and long-lived expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInformation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 235.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e2019\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eNew South Wales\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSub region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eHunter Valley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% Semillon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eButtery and Complex\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweetness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eDry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e11%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking window:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e2026 - 2038\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood match:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eShellfish, Crab and Lobster\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics Scores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe choose our wines based on a range of criteria\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e(see\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theperfectbottle.com\/pages\/how-we-choose-our-wines\"\u003ehow we choose our wines\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eof which critic scores is just\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eone\u003c\/u\u003e. Rather than simply highlight the best score to promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eaverage critic score or better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add individual critic scores to our website in the future. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"100% Semillon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55512857674104,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5452\/6614\/files\/white-wine-tyrrells-single-vineyard-hvd-semillon-hunter-valley-2019-1229399373.jpg?v=1774537870","url":"https:\/\/www.theperfectbottle.com\/products\/tyrrells-single-vineyard-hvd-semillon-hunter-valley-2019","provider":"The Perfect Bottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
