In this episode we catch up with Chris Tyrrell, the 5th generation winemaker of Tyrrell's Wines. We talk about the evolution of Hunter Valley wines and how we need to embrace the uniqueness of Semillon in particular. We travel through a flight of wines representative of the Tyrrell’s story. 2006 Vat1 Semillon, 2017 Vat 1 Semillon, 2022 Vat47 Chardonnay, Vat 6 Pinot Noir, Vat 9 Shiraz. We were also stoked to have a surprise visit from the legend Bruce Tyrrell himself.
