Tyrrells 2022 Hunter Valley Semillon 750ml

Picked early morning, pressed then fermented in stainless steel. Creeps up on you, the bouquet pleasingly varietal and fresh, but without any high points, perhaps reflecting the high-yielding year with water, water everywhere. But there is a change for the better on the palate, maturation on lees adding flavour and texture.
