Seppelt Wines Great Western is proud to unveil our newest luxury collection of six exceptional wines from the 2022, 2023 and 2024 vintages, each showcasing the signature terroirs of our Drumborg, Mt Ida and Great Western vineyards. This release marks a special occasion, as we celebrate 60 years of winemaking brilliance at our Drumborg vineyard. From elegant whites to bold reds, this collection offers a diverse range of tastes, each produced with the same passion and precision Seppelt has been known for generations. Join us in celebration, toasting to the decades of winemaking excellence past and the many more to come.
The release of our 2024 Drumborg Vineyard Riesling is particularly special as we celebrate 60 years of winemaking excellence at our Drumborg vineyard, a site that has produced some of our most exceptional wines. Exemplifying both the quality and longevity of the Drumborg winemaking process, this year’s Riesling is produced, in part, from the original grapes planted 60 years ago. This wine will once again dazzle with its vibrant lemon zest, lime, and crisp pear flavors, complemented by a pronounced minerality that is a hallmark of the cool Drumborg climate. Its lively acidity ensures a refreshing, clean finish, capturing the essence of six decades of winemaking tradition.
A Continuation of Excellence
Following the success of our award-winning 2022 vintage, the 2023 Drumborg Vineyard Chardonnay will continue to impress. Crafted by winemaker Clare Dry, this Chardonnay reflects the Drumborg Vineyard’s legacy of meticulously crafted and consistent excellence. This wine carries an energetic and vibrant core, sustained by a nuanced texture enabled through whole bunch pressing and fermentation on full solids in barriques. This process balances the naturally high acidity, resulting in a wine with purity and complexity that makes it a reliable pairing with a range of dishes.
Rediscovering Drumborg Vineyard Traminer
For the first time in decades, we are delighted to reintroduce The Drumborg Vineyard Traminer. This aromatic white boasts full-bodied notes of lychee, mango, pear, and musk that is both crisp and chalky on the palette. This versatile wine offers a well-rounded experience with a refreshing finish that continues the legacy of innovation and exploration at Drumborg Vineyard.
A Cool Climate Classic
The 2023 Drumborg Vineyard Pinot Noir is another standout from this release, offering a succulent and savoury profile. Rich flavours of dark cherries, florals, and pomegranate coated in smokey and herbaceous notes define this wine. With firm tannins and a balanced interplay of fruit, earth and mineral elements, this Pinot Noir is perfect for those who appreciate the signature intricacies of a cool-climate red.
Two Signature and Splendid Shiraz Releases
At the heart of our 2024 Luxury Collection are two distinct and renowned Shiraz offerings, each highlighting the unique profiles of their respective regions
St. Peters Grampians Shiraz 2022
This wine is a perennial favourite and a staple for many, known for its vibrant ripe cherry and blackberry notes, accented by the rich flavours of dark chocolate, cracked pepper and graphite. By continuing our practice of using older barriques and French vats, with only 24% new oak, we have ensured a balanced and expressive wine for decades. This wine has been a stunning example of a Shiraz from the Grampians region, winning the favour of our most loyal customers and critics for generations.
Sourced from the nearly 50-year-old vines of our Mount Ida vineyard in Heathcote, this Shiraz boasts remarkable depth and structure. Characterised by its rich, ripe fruit flavours and firm tannins followed by a luxuriously smooth and polished finish, this wine is deserving of the lengthy praises she garners.
