Taste Description
Taste Description
Nose
The nose shows complex, savoury spice and pepper notes with aromas of regional, dark fruits.
Flavours and Palate
The medium bodied palate displays plush blueberries and Satsuma plums combined with tight, fine tannins and a core of graphite-like mineral texture. This wine is delicately poised, yet powerful. With subtle creamy, cedary oak and a persistent length of flavour, this wine finishes complex and refined.
Viticulture Vintage & Winemaking
Viticulture Vintage & Winemaking
Grampians, Victoria
Viticulture dates back to the 1850s Victorian gold rush in the cool and dry Grampians. The golden nugget of this stunning terroir is delicate yet intensely flavoured Shiraz with compelling fragrance and spice.
Adam Carnaby - Seppelt Winemaker
As a Hospitality Manager at Melbourne’s Hilton Hotel, Adam’s affinity for the wine industry became so apparent that he enrolled in a Bachelor of Wine Science degree at Charles Sturt University, graduating in 2003. In 2001 he was appointed Assistant Winemaker at Yering Station in the Yarra Valley where he remained for five years, gaining vintage experience in Burgundy in-between. Then in 2007 he moved to Margaret River to be a Winemaker at Xanadu Wines for a further five years. These days Adam proudly dons two winemaking hats, creating outstanding cool climate wines from across Victoria: in 2011 he commenced as Seppelt Winemaker and in 2016 added the responsibilities of being Winemaker for T’Gallant. He relishes the challenge of being in charge of two great Australian wine producers – Seppelt with its 165 year history and focus on cool climate sparkling, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Riesling from the Grampians, Heathcote and Henty regions; and the more eccentric T’Gallant, pioneers of Pinot Grigio and Gris in Australia based in the Mornington Peninsula.
