2009 Tyrrell’s Vat 47 Winemaker's Selection ChardonnaySince the 1971 vintage, Vat 47 has been awarded 30 trophies and 241 medals. "These days Vat 47 is handpicked into two bins at a time, with workers stationed around the bins as the grapes arrive, removing leaf and cane fragments and any grapes affected with botrytis or mildew. A key decision has been the reintroduction of basket pressing, which reduces the yield of juice per tonne." Halliday Wine Companion
