Tyrrell’s Belford Semillon is a classic Hunter Valley white from the Belford sub-region. Dry, citrus-driven and with a crisp, racy acidity, it carries a fine chalky/mineral edge that defines its character. A wine built for freshness now, it also shows age-worthy potential, evolving from bright lemon and green citrus to deeper, nutty notes with time. Best with seafood, oysters, citrus salads, and soft cheeses.
