2024 Seppelt Drumborg Vineyard Riesling
Sourced from the mature, cool climate Drumborg Vineyard in south-west Victoria’s Henty region, our Riesling is part of Seppelt’s iconic Drumborg vineyard range. Planted in 1964 by Karl Seppelt, the Drumborg vineyard is renowned for its cool climate, single vineyard wines which are a reflection of the beauty and purity of this isolated site.
Our 2024 release marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Drumborg vineyard. Riesling was the first variety planted at Drumborg in 1964 and is one of Seppelt’s most sought-after whites due to its purity, intensity of flavour and remarkable cellaring potential. Traditional winemaking techniques including cool tank fermentation followed by a short period of maturation on lees are used to bring about the truest expression of the vineyard.
Nose - Fragrant notes of kaffir lime, lemon blossom, poached pear and a hint of perfumed bath salts.
Palate - Incredible intensity of flavour along the length; notes of lemon peel alongside kaffir lime, starfruit and spice hint at an exotic spectrum of flavours. The textural, mineral mouthfeel adds flesh to the juicy acid backbone.
