TASTING NOTES

AROMA

Belford Semillon this year shows its typical ripe citrus aromatics, with hints of white stone fruit.

PALATE

The palate is dense and robust with a touch of honey that sits behind the riper citrus flavours. More phenolic texture than the other wines gives this year’s Belford another layer of flavour.

REGION NOTES

The Tyrrell family leases the Belford Vineyard. It is our northern-most Semillon vineyard and was planted in 1933. Situated furthest away from the Brokenback range, it has the most broken-down soil of all our vineyard sites, with a consistency similar to that of talcum powder.

WINEMAKERS COMMENTS

Our Single Vineyards celebrate the best single blocks that produce wines of distinct character unique to that site and the Hunter Valley. The redefinition of the vineyard source of our top wines has been the major change at Tyrrell’s over the past 35 years. For most of our history, Tyrrell’s has produced its wines by blending parcels from different vineyards. However, in 1983, we created the HVD Semillon, our first formally recognised single-vineyard wine. Throughout the 1980s, we continued to investigate how the location and soil of each individual vineyard influences the unique flavours of the wines they produce. Then, in 1992, Bruce Tyrrell struck a deal to buy grapes from the Stevens family, sealing it with a handshake. This key move was a shift in direction to focus on the intrinsic quality and uniqueness of the great single vineyards of the Hunter Valley and beyond. Since then, we’ve set out to lease, purchase or enter into grape-buying arrangements with the very best vineyard sites in the Hunter Valley. Today, our Single Vineyard wines celebrate those truly great vineyard blocks, which produce wines with a distinct character that’s unique to that site and to the Hunter.
