2025 Seppelt Drumborg Vineyard Chardonnay

Sourced from the mature, cool‑climate Drumborg Vineyard in south‑west Victoria’s Henty region, our Chardonnay 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.

Seppelt Drumborg Vineyard Henty Chardonnay is an expression of purity and balance. Select parcels of Chardonnay are chosen for their intensity of flavour and aroma, and traditional winemaking techniques are used to produce a finely structured yet powerful and regionally iconic expression of Chardonnay.

Palate - Restrained and waiting to more fully unwind, the palate is pure and poised at release. Lemon citrus notes star alongside classic elements of white nectarine and toasted cashew. Nine months maturation in barrels on full lees has created a texture that works in harmony with the slatey acidity of Drumborg Vineyard; both elements work in tandem to lengthen and define the palate to create a seamless flow. This wine will continue to unfurl with age, revealing more nuance and complexity as time passes.

Nose - Fragrant lemon pith, white nectarine and white peach notes are balanced by the more savoury elements of toasted macadamia nougat and a flinty minerality to create an expressive and enticing nose.
