Tyrrell's 2022 White Release: Smoky, lemon,slate and white florals. Palate has an extra level of depth and texture, acid is clean and bright working well with the richer style fruit. Clear standout of the 22 Sems.

Tyrrell's New Release Tasting (Darling Harbour, Sydney): {screwcap, 11%, A$55} Hay, straw and limestone, with sandy earth. Quite lifted and open for a Vat 1. They certainly don’t make ‘em like they did thirty years ago. Or at least, it doesn’t taste that way. The technique is minimal in the extreme; a light-press with the juice fermented in steel before six weeks on fine lees before a light fining and bottling. Medium/full palate, etched with pointed but natural acidity (a fraction under 7g/l). Grassy flavours dice with stones and rocks. Medium/long finish. Vat 1s under screwcap are turning out to have extremely long lives indeed. No exception here. Perfectly drinkable now, but with every promise of living for decades.
