A Hunter Valley semillon has just confirmed its place on the Australian wine hit parade with a “best-in-show” gong at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
Let’s say Henschke’s sublimely perfumed Hill of Grace which dances haughtily on the palate, Penfolds aristocratic Grange with majestic depth and power, and Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Semillon - the most decorated white wine in the nation.Perhaps you will say Elderton Command shiraz or Grosset Polish Hill riesling, or Leeuwin Art Series chardonnay or Mount Mary Quintet?NSW winemaker Bruce Tyrrell, who won international honours for his semillon.
The judges were generous in their praise of the Vat 1’s “freshness, restraint and petite shapeliness” with a “bracing acidic palate” and “unique scents of lime, parsley and rue beginning to deepen”. I tasted the 2016 world-beater semillon in a line-up of other Tyrrell’s semillons at the firm’s Hunter Valley cellar door in January and encountered vibrant citrus, apple blossom and white peach notes. It also showed nutty aromas.
