Fed: Tyrrell's semillon the best wine in Australia

Winemaker BRUCE TYRRELL reckons the best is yet to come, despite his 1994 Hunter Valley
semillon being judged the best wine exhibited in Australia.

Tyrrell's Wines 1994 Vat 1 Hunter Semillon was last night acclaimed at the Royal Sydney
Wine Show as the best red or white wine exhibited in Australia this year.

The wine won the prestigious Tucker Seabrook Trophy, with the 1997 version of the wine
winning the best wine of the show award and also the best white wine at the show.

But despite the successes, Mr TYRELL believes the 2005 Hunter semillon will similarly
wow the wine industry -- in fact he says it's shaping up to be the vintage of the century.

The Vat 1 1994 is commercially available in limited quantities for about $80 a bottle.
