2020 Seppelt Drumborg Vineyard Pinot Meunier

This wine forms part of Seppelt’s prized Drumborg Vineyard Range, sourced from the mature, cool-climate Seppelt Drumborg Vineyard in South-West Victoria’s Henty Region. Planted in 1964 by Karl Seppelt and swept by icy Winds from the Southern Ocean, it is one of the Southern-most vineyards of mainland Australia.

Pinot Meunier was planted at Drumborg in 1966 to be used as a component of Premium Sparkling Wine, however it can produce very interesting and delicious dry table wines reminiscent of Pinot Noir. Seppelt Drumborg Vineyard Pinot Meunier is a unique example of this variety and is amongst only a handful of wines made in this fashion in Australia.

Palate - The palate is savoury with charcuterie notes underpinning juicy sour cherry and redcurrant. Very fine tannins and delicate acid give the wine an ethereal finish.

Nose - The perfumed nose is layered with complex spice, gunflint, bramble and subtle gamey notes. Wild strawberry adds depth and richness.
