Hunter Valley

White

The Hunter Valley is rightly famous for its Shiraz and Semillon, but a few producers excel at Chardonnay too. Keith Tulloch is one – seek out the Field of Mars single vineyard – as is Tyrrell’s. Vat 47 is the pinnacle of the famed estate’s five Chardonnays, first made in 1971 and sourced from vines up to 112 years old. It’s held back before release – 2015 will be the next vintage in the UK – so this has elegantly developing notes of windfall apples and a whiff of exotic fruit on a soft, round palate with focused acidity.
