Seppelt St. Peters Grampians Shiraz 2023 | $80 FREE DELIVERY

Released in small quantities and only in exceptional years, St Peters is Seppelt’s flagship shiraz, testimony to the distinctive style and pedigree of Grampians shiraz. The lineage of this iconic wine dates back to 1964, when ‘Great Western Hermitage’, as it was then known, was first made. Since 1998 this wine has been called St Peters in honour of the first vineyard planted in the region.

Today, St Peters is sourced from the finest and most intense fruit from the best blocks of our Great Western vineyard. In vintage 2023, this included select parcels from the Bass and Arrawatta blocks. It is a powerful and seductive expression of Shiraz from the Great Western region with extraordinary cellaring potential. This wine is classified ‘Excellent’ by Langton’s in its Classification of Australian Wine VII.

NOSE
A fragrant lift of spicy blueberry fruit, violets and bay leaf, layered with subtle oak and cordite nuances.

PALATE
A medium-bodied wine of delicate litheness and finesse. Flavours of satsuma plum and blueberry are accented by dark chocolate, flint, spice and pink peppercorn. Nuanced charry oak and regional graphite tannins focus length and structure, promising graceful ageing over the decades to come.

VINEYARD REGION
Great Western, Grampians

VINEYARD CONDITIONS
The 2023 vintage in the Grampians was shaped by a cool, wet spring and mild summer, which delayed harvest and presented challenges for disease management. Fruit was harvested slightly earlier than usual to retain freshness and purity. The season produced wines with tight structure, fine spice, dark fruit character and trademark Grampians graphite tannins.
