Traditional Tyrrell's
It's no secret East End Cellars are big fans of these wines. After 148 years, we think they have the recipe just about spot on. At the Melbourne Wine show in August, Tyrrell's netted 3 trophies and 10 golds with 7 silver and 8 bronze... not to mention that at the Hunter Valley Wine Show, another 9 trophies were added to the employee's pool rooms. Get your lips around these little gems, or whack them in the cellar, and watch the blossoms grow even further!
For the first 10 customers there is a Free bottle of the very limited 2000 Tyrrell's Old Vine Semillon on every dozen Tyrrell's product purchased through East End Cellars - part HVD vineyard and part Stevens vineyard! Be quick.....
1999 Tyrrell's Vat 1 Hunter Semillon - current tally 5 trophies and 10 gold.
"1999 was simply the best vintage for Vat1, and has got miles left" - James Halliday - 98 points
