TYRRELL'S Pokolbin Hills Semillon, Hunter Valley

Planted in 1970 by Reg Drayton, Tyrrell’s had made the wine for Reg Drayton wines for many years before taking on the lease of the vineyard in the early 90’s. The Pokolbin Hills vineyard is the source for this Pokolbin Hills Semillon and the Cabernet component of Tyrrell's Vat 8 Shiraz Cabernet.

The fruit for this wine was handpicked on 24 January 2019 before being lightly pressed. The free-run juice was then fermented at cool temperatures in stainless-steel tanks. Pokolbin Hills is similar to Short Flat, the wine always exhibits an extra dimension and depth of flavour not seen in many Semillons. It shows an intense citrus core and lovely texture through the mid-palate, with a brisk acidity that gives the wine great length and tension.
