This week some lucky young wine folk had the experience of their lives tasting the best Australia has to offer, including some of Seppeltsfield's treasures. Here's Jamie Goode's take on the fortifieds... (BTW Kilikanoon Mort's Block Riesling was honoured to be part of this incredible line-up)

Jamie Goode's Blog
"The final three on this list were served blind as a separate flight. The Chambers was utterly remarkable. Then came the 1928 Morris Muscat. It was viscous - almost solid, and clearly very old. But when I tasted it I was profoundly moved. I felt quite emotional: this was one of the most incredibly complex and profound wines I've ever been lucky enough to taste. No spitting. Just awe. The room was hushed as clearly many others were similarly moved. As if that was not enough, the Seppeltsfield 1909 Para was also mindblowing: darker, more intense and with a huge weight of sweet and savoury complexity. I've never had two wines quite as amazing as these before, and next to each other, too! A great way to conclude a memorable week."
