Tyrrell’s Belford Semillon 2019

”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.
The 2019 vintage in the Hunter Valley was another high-quality year across all varieties and was a stellar follow up to 2018. Continued dry conditions meant cropping levels were slightly lower than normal however all of the fruit was in perfect condition with intense concentration.
Belford Semillon this year shows its typical ripe citrus aromatics, with hints of white stone fruit. 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 give this year’s Belford Semillon another layer of flavour.” Tyrrell’s
