Winery & Vintage Info
This wine forms part of Seppelt’s prized Drumborg Vineyard range, sourced from the mature, cool-climate Seppelt Drumborg Vineyard in south-west Victoria’s Henty region. Planted in 1964 by Karl Seppelt and swept by icy winds from the southern ocean, it is one of the southern-most vineyards of mainland Australia.
Riesling was the first variety planted at Drumborg in 1964. This wine is one of Seppelt’s most sought-after whites due to its fruit purity, structure, intensity of flavour and remarkable cellaring potential. Traditional winemaking techniques, including cool tank fermentation followed by a short period of maturation on lees are used to bring about the purest expression of the vineyard. The 2018 vintage is a classic example of Drumborg Riesling representing the purity, balance and length inherent to this unique vineyard.
Following hand-picking, parcels were crushed and pressed then partially clarified with some solids included. All batches were fermented cool in stainless steel at 13 degrees and matured on lees for 1 month before bottling.
Fruit is exclusively sourced from the Seppelt Drumborg vineyard in Henty, Victoria.
A cool winter with good early rainfall was followed by warm, dry spring conditions, resulting in excellent fruit set. Summer temperatures were average to warm, with persistent fine conditions and little rain, resulting in above-average yields and exceptional quality. Winery Notes
