SEPPELT ST PETERS SHIRAZ 2021

Style: Bold & Powerful

The foundations of Seppelt were laid in 1851 when Joseph Seppelt established Seppeltsfield in the Barossa Valley. On the other side of the country, young Frenchman Jean Pierre Trouette followed the gold rush to Victoria and formed a partnership with Anne Marie Blampied and her brother, Emile. They established the first vines in the Grampians region with the historic St Peters vineyard in 1863. By 1867, their estate had grown to 50,000 vines. In November 2020, Clare Dry joined Seppelt as our new lead winemaker. Growing up on Victoria¿s Mornington Peninsula, Clare has spent the last 13 years crafting wines in South Australia, bringing a wealth of experience to the position and a clear focus on our leading portfolio of still and sparkling wines. SEPPELT

This single-vineyard shiraz, from the famed Great Western subregion of the Grampians, is an iconic wine. The |21 is winemaker is Clare Dry¿s first St Peters. 10% whole-bunch; 60% large format oak.The deep, bright red colour tinged with purple introduces a superbly complex, perfectly ripe bouquet that expertly melds cool-grown shiraz spice with earthy/stony, dried herb and chocolate nuances, while the palate is full-bodied and powerful, concentrated and emphatic, with lashings of supple, ripe, beautifully sculpted tannins and a tremendously long aftertaste. An outstanding wine and a great example of the region. So impressive! ¿ HUON HOOKE
