This wine forms part of Seppelt’s prized Drumborg Vineyard Range, sourced from the mature, cool-climate Seppelt Drumborg Vineyard in South-West Victoria’s Henty Region. Planted in 1964 by Karl Seppelt and swept by icy Winds from the Southern Ocean, it is one of the Southern-most vineyards of mainland Australia.
Seppelt Drumborg Vineyard Henty Chardonnay is an expression of purity and balance. Select parcels of Chardonnay are chosen for their intensity of flavor and mineral acid structure. Traditional winemaking techniques are used, including fermentation in a combination of small and large format French oak followed by maturation on less. The 2021 vintage is a finely structured, yet powerful and iconically regional expression of Chardonnay.
Fragrant white nectarine and Meyer lemon peel layers beautifully with savoury notes of toasted curry leaf, nougat and a flinty mineral finish.
The essence of powerful purity; a salivating mineral sea-salt line of acid is balanced by lemon zest and white nectarine. The palate is flavoursome and very even with seamlessly integrated oak and a creamy, generous mouthfeel with notes of macadamia and nougat and a slatey, textural finish. This wine will take many years to unwine the potential.
A very wet winter coupled with a consistently wet and cold spring. This delayed flowering and resulted in poor fruit set conditions. A cool and humid ripening period with above average rain days further complicated final picking. In all it was low yielding and trick year a Drumborg but this vineyard displays its pedigree in the final wine which is of excellent quality.
