Limited Release Table Wines
Seppeltsfield Shiraz Touriga Grenache Vintage 2011
The Shiraz, Touriga & Grenache blocks, lying on the ironstone soils of the Western ridge of the Barossa, were carefully managed through what would prove to be a challenging viticultural season. Traditionally reserved for our fortified offerings, small parcels of Shiraz, Grenache & Touriga that showed the best colour, acid and flavour balance were identified for an elegant, medium-bodied still red blend.
A beautifully balanced wine, showing wild hedgerow fruits, white blossom and savoury spice. Brief maturation in seasoned French oak allows the purity of fruit to shine, whilst adding a delicate tannin structure.
Awarded the 2012 Barossa Wine Show Gold Medal & Trophy for Best Shiraz Dominant Blend.

The 2011 ‘STG’ 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 three varietals were individually fermented in open top fermenters and then matured for 10 months in seasoned French oak puncheons.
