Seppelt St. Peters Grampians Shiraz 2010
Seppelt St. Peters Grampians Shiraz is the flagship wine in the Seppelt portfolio. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the finest and most intense estate grown fruit and is the ultimate expression of cool climate Grampians Shiraz. The lineage of this wine dates back to 1964 when Great Western Hermitage was first made.
Gee this is a good St Peters. Blackberry, chocolate, spice and pepper, aniseed perfume almost to liquorice richness, cedar and lavender. Medium bodied, but so dense and deeply fruited – chewy and backwards as a young wine – positively rippling with graphite tannin, and in spite of all that, it still has a succulence that shines through. There’s a clear sense of ‘minerality’ here, judicious high quality oak in support, even and unobtrusive acidity, and superb length with inky tannin carrying it long. Pretty certain this will come to be regarded as a ‘classic’ in time. Wait for the potential 96 or 97 points… - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, 95+ Points
