Tyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon 2010

此酒可算是把本來沒有陳年的Semillon酒，把瓶內陳年的好處充分展現出來的縮影。於 1963 年第一次生產，Vat 1 於溫度調的不鏽鋼大桶發酵，再靜靜地花費幾年於瓶內陳年。

產區：
澳洲新南威爾士省 Hunter Valley

產地：
澳洲

葡萄品種：
Semillon

釀造：
以人手採摘，然後輕柔地在不鏽鋼桶進行發酵搾汁。在進行低溫發酵。稍為靜置於粗酒渣後，葡萄酒會被換桶，再於不鏽鋼桶成熟五個月。

品酒筆記：
一瓶典型的 Hunter Valley Semillon，顯示具有相當的長度和柑橘類水果味道，味道廣闊而緊密結構的味覺。非常平易近人，雖是一瓶年輕的葡萄酒，但也是為長時期窖藏而製成。口感是強勁柑橘感覺，清脆的酸度結構，乾淨的收結，擁有無可挑剔的平衡。

Vat 1 Hunter Semillon epitomised the benefits of patient bottle ageing that transforms this unoaked wine into a masterpiece. First produced in 1963, the Vat 1 is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks before it quietly spends a few years 'resting' in bottles.

Region:
Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia

Country of Origin:
Australia

Grape Variety:
Semillon

Vinification:
The grapes were hand picked then lightly crushed before a relatively cool fermentation in stainless steel. After a short period on gross lees, the wine was racked and left to mature in stainless steel for a further five months before bottling.

Tasting Notes:
A classic Hunter Valley Semillon showing a tightly structured palate with considerable length and breadth of citrus fruit flavours. Very approachable as a young wine yet is still built for a long life in the cellar. The palate is impeccably balanced with its strong citrus characters and a crisp acid structure which leaves the wine with a clean finish.
