Seppeltsfield Barossa Shiraz 2020
- Rich, full-bodied
- Barossa
Do we need to introduce you to Seppeltsfield? Probably not. Are we going to do it anyway? Not really. We’ll just say- if you’ve ever been to the Seppeltsfield winery, you’ll know that to stand amongst the 2000 palm trees and 144 year old gravity cellar is to know history. That’s what Barossa is all about, and shiraz is the backbone of this rise to global importance. This is ripe plum, edges of oak spice and varietal pepper. You’d be everyone’s best friend bringing this along to the dinner party, no introduction needed.

Halliday Wine Companion
“Opaque core, deep ruby at the rim. Blackberry and black olive tapenade aromatics. Full-bodied and powerful dark fruits, olives and ironstone characters fill the mouth. That power and intensity is matched to equally firm and focused tannins. Great length and drive. A very savoury wine for the region but everything is in balance, and it offers great value.”

Region
Barossa
Confusingly, the Barossa Zone (aka 'Barossa') encompasses the Eden and Barossa Valley regions (the word 'Valley' being the key differentiator). If you don't want all your eggs in one basket, or all your shiraz from one region, this is one solid way to get some complexity of layers (of course, it's not all about shiraz - ha! Yes it is). Despite being about the same area, Eden Valley only has about 20% of the area under vine that its more famous neighbour manages. But it's no surprise that you'll find many of the big and boutique players sourcing their most expensive wines from a little higher than the Barossa Valley floor. So if you see a wine labelled as 'Barossa', you might just be looking at something that extra bit special.
