In 1983, we created the HVD Semillon, our first formally recognised single-vineyard wine. Throughout the 1980s, we continued to investigate how the location and soil of each individual vineyard influences the unique flavours of the wines they produce. Then, in 1992, Bruce Tyrrell struck a deal to buy grapes from the Stevens family, sealing it with a handshake. This key move was a shift in direction to focus on the intrinsic quality and uniqueness of the great single vineyards of the Hunter Valley and beyond.

”A site sandwiched between sandy creek beds, dry grown and planted in 1908. Set the compass, because this is a paean to a rich heritage as much as a looking glass into the brightest of futures. Lightweight. A skitter of lemon zest, tamarind and quince, bulwarked with a talcy mineral pungency and a juicy acid kit. Long, tactile and pummelling of intensity. This is a late-released Hunter semillon, barely nudging middle age. Strap yourself in, turn Eddie Van Halen up to full volume and get ready. Stevens, the exuberant. Belford, the intellectual nerd. This, the louche with class.”
