An awesome 2 hour historical tour and tasting of fine wines of the Seppeltsfield winery. Our 3rd such tour :)

With Angaston mature cheddar

Seppelt Show Sparkling shiraz 1991
Strong dusty blackberry and leather fruit on nose and palate. Beautiful residual sweetness but well balanced.
Rating 9/10
Value 4/5

Seppelt Jaluka Chardonnay 2003
Very buttery on the nose but very crisp with fresh acidity.

Seppelt Bendigo Benno Shiraz 2003
Cellar Door Price $45
Very closed on the nose but all fruit - plums at this stage. Something to put down for at least 5 years.

Seppelt Dorrien Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1999
From 80 year old vines.
Slight DMS and fruit on nose. Balanced leathery fruit on nose.

Seppelt Para Tawny 1983
Very viscous and mouthfilling, rancio and caramel molasses flavours with very long finish. Yum.

Seppelt DP 59 Tokay
Very sweet luxurious caramel.

Seppelt GR 113 Rare Muscat
Massive raisons with lingering finish.

Seppelt Para 100 YO 1906
Green edges. Instant shock (tongue on fire!). Burnt toffee and toasted molasses followed by concentrated oak. Absolutely amazing. Ridiculously long length.
