2021 Seppelt Chalambar Shiraz

Chalambar Shiraz was first crafted in 1953 by Australian Winemaking legend Colin Preece. Named after the picturesque Mount Chalambar located in Victoria’s Grampians Region, this wine is a multi-regional blend of Premium Shiraz parcels sourced from some of Victoria’s finest viticultural regions.

This vintage harnesses the individual strengths and distinct characteristics of spicy, floral Grampians Shiraz complemented by juicy Heathcote Shiraz. Expect savoury spice aromas with a medium-bodied palate abundant with mulberry fruits, complex spice flavours, and fine, velvety tannins.

WINEMAKING AND MATURATION - Premium parcels of Shiraz from the Grampians and Heathcote regions were fermented on skins, averaging around 7 days and then matured in a combination of 225 L French oak barriques and 450L French oak puncheons for 10 months. Overall 25% new French oak.

NOSE - Dark fruited blackberry and plum along regional black pepper and spice of the Grampians to create an enticing nose with a hint of flinty minerality.
