Limited Release Table Wines
Seppeltsfield Barossa Shiraz 2011
The 2011 Shiraz was crafted in the 1888 Gravity Flow Cellar. Built into the hillside on a series of terraces, the world-class winery is geared towards small batch parcels for super premium table wine. Gravity guides the flow of grapes down through the winery to deliver gentle extraction of colour, flavour and tannin. The Shiraz was fermented in open top fermenters and then matured for 14 months in seasoned French oak puncheons.
An elegant, red fruited Shiraz, with high aromatics of licquorice and cherry. Maturation in seasoned French oak has retained a fresh mouth feel, whilst weaving a supple tannin structure with and a lick of savoury spice.

Our Shiraz blocks, lying on the ironstone soils of the Seppeltsfield estate, were carefully managed through what would prove to be a challenging viticultural season. Despite higher than average rainfall during the ripening period, the Shiraz parcels which showed the best acid balance, sugar and flavour ripeness were identified and reserved for our limited release table wine offerings.
