Expert Review
Huon Hooke
Very deep, dark purple-red-black colour with a distinctive mataro influenced bouquet that brings to mind tar, ironstone and graphite. The wine is very full-bodied and dense, firm and solid; a powerful red with serious depth and savouriness. Totally lip-smacking, the tannins coating the mouth and contributing to a very long, appetising aftertaste. Impressive stuff. Will be long-lived. (66% shiraz, 34% mataro. Matured in older hogsheads.)

Deep purple and opened with a complex nose. Truffles, dark berries, mulberries, chocolate, coffee grinds, animal skins. This is exhibiting more savoury notes than the cabernet and is powerful, coiled and concentrated with a gentle casing of oak. Tannins are abundant but still a little chewy. This lacks the immediate gratification offered by the cabernet sauvignon, but is still a wine with a serious future. It will be better with time and likely to be several points higher in a decade.

66/34% shiraz/mataro. One of the Seppeltsfield Bench Blend releases, the shiraz hails from the Seppeltsfield Chook Block and V-Block; the mataro from an established grower on the western ridge. Deeply coloured with rich characters of blood plum, blackberry and black cherry fruits, fruitcake spice, almond blossom, earth and dark chocolate. Impressive fruit depth, a chalky tannin presence and a cassis and licorice-rich exit.

Seppeltsfield is a showpiece of the Barossa Valley, a magnificent complex of 19th century winery buildings surrounded by almost 100 hectares of vineyards. Seppeltsfield was a focal point of the fledgling Barossa wine industry from the 1850s and now boasts the world’s longest unbroken chain of vintage wines, going back to 1878, enabling the release of a genuine 100-year-old fortified wine each year since 1978. Apart from the extraordinary range of fortifieds, Seppeltsfield today also produces a range of limited production table wines, including blends of Shiraz, Grenache and Touriga, and sparkling wines under the Gert’s Blend label.
