Bright, light-mid yellow; attractively floral and cold steel/mineral-tinged lemon juice aromas and flavours, the acidity bright and piercing, the palate refined and intense, youthfully bright and fresh, with excellent line and length. A long-term wine which is still young.  Date: Dec 2024; Alcohol: 10.5%; Price: $45.00; Drink: 2024-2036; Rating: 97 Points; Huon Hooke; The Real Review

Stevens Semillon is a special wine at Tyrrell's, which began making it in 1993 from a block owned by Neil and Bernadette Stevens. The wine inspired Bruce Tyrrell to develop a 'single site' range of wines. Tyrrell's cemented this wine's place within its portfolio by purchasing the block in 2022. The wine is in a sweet spot, with an expressive lemon curd aroma and a subtle smoky overlay. The palate exhibits the warmth of the vintage with delicious, subtle sweet pear and white peach flavours packed into a soft, cleansing palate. The wine is in its prime, with exceptional character and brightness. Date: Feb 2024; Alcohol: 10.5%; Price: $50.00; Drink by: 2026; Rating: 96 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion
