Winemaker Notes
Bright golden brown in color. Fragrantly spiced with youthful floral and rose petal aromas, given depth by aged characters of raisined fruit with an earthy spirit lift. The palate is rich and luscious, with rich, raisined fruit balanced with clean acidity and aromatic spirit. The after taste is soft, lifted and long lasting.

Seductive, this is sweet but balanced, aromatic with cherry-supported milk chocolate, peanut and walnut flavors, lingering on the generous finish. Drink now. 125 cases imported.
The Seppeltsfield vineyard is one of the largest and most historic in the Barossa Valley, having been initially planted in the 1850s. It comprises nearly 100 hectares of Barossa’s traditional grape varieties Shiraz and Grenache, with Cabernet Sauvignon ( more recently introduced ) and the traditional European fortified varieties of Touriga (for VP –‘vintage port” style) and Palomino (for the “sherry” styles). Some of the grapes from this vineyard are targeted at the very highest products from the Penfolds stable- Grange, St Henri and RWT Shiraz. A VIP (Vineyard Improvement Programme) is in place to ensure the very highest standard of fruit is produced for the next century or two!
