Tyrrell's Sacred Sites HVD Semillon 2015

Tyrrell's Sacred Sites HVD Semillon 2015The HVD Vineyard is one of Tyrrell's sacred sites, a vineyard on its own roots (ungrafted) which is more than 100 years old. In 2004, Tyrrell's decided that if the vines were still healthy and producing great wine after 100 years, then those wines deserved to be made and bottled individually, and so the Sacred Sites range was born.

Develops so well in the glass I’d expect this to age very well

free drainage and a lack of protection from the elements

this well-balanced wine doesn't show its muscle as much as does its structure to propel the gorgeous flavors
