{"product_id":"tyrrells-vat-47-chardonnay-2021-750ml","title":"Tyrrell's Vat 47 Chardonnay 2021 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 Vat 47 Chardonnay is sourced from vines planted in the HVD (Hunter Valley Distilling) vineyard by Murray Tyrrell in 1968. (Chardonnay plantings went through a significant boom in Australia at around this time. Early cuttings of Old Foundation Block [UC Davis] clone was first planted in the Swan Research Station vineyard in 1957 and was released for sale in 1964 (later planted up at Gingin, hence the current name), with Tyrrell's in 1968. In 1969, the I10v1 clone arrived in Victoria and was widely planted. These early movements gave way to a proper planting boom in the 1970s, and by 1980, \"Australian Chardonnay\" in all its (rather unfortunate) 1980s stylistic excess was in full swing.) Back to this wine. Tightly wound and showing the cool balance of the 2021 vintage to great effect, this has curried mango, white peach, saltbush and brine mingling on the nose, while the palate gives way to a glassy polish and juicy acid line in the mouth. It's a super impressive wine, all the more so given I recently tasted a 2013, which seemed to have not aged a day. Not one single day. Timeless. A conservative score with a \"plus,\" knowing there is much room to move (upward). \u003cstrong\u003eErin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003eHunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Varietal: \u003c\/strong\u003e100% Semillon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritic Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robert Parker Wine Advocate 94+ Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Drink Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e TBA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47983306768542,"sku":null,"price":103.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/7063\/5885\/files\/Tyrrell_sVat47Chardonnay.png?v=1746793051","url":"https:\/\/www.winecolony.com.sg\/products\/tyrrells-vat-47-chardonnay-2021-750ml","provider":"Wine Colony","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
