About this wine
Seppelt St Peters Great Western Vineyards Shiraz, Grampians
With a pedigree dating back more than 50 years, Seppelt’s flagship Shiraz has long been among Australia’s finest and most sought-after red wines. That good bottles from the 1960s can still be good drinking is a tribute to the influence of Colin Preece—one of Australia’s greatest winemakers, who was the manager at Seppelt Great Western from 1932 until his retirement in 1963.
St.Peters has maintained its status as a leading Shiraz in the powerful yet elegant, finely structured Victorian style.
'a leading Shiraz in the powerful yet elegant, finely structured Victorian style.'
Winemaker Adam Carnaby points to a complex, perfumed nose of violets, dark fruit, pepper and spice leading into fresh, mulberry-like fruit flavours, fine tannins and spicy oak.
St.Peter’s proven longevity means the wine is sought after everywhere in the world that fine Shiraz is valued and enjoyed.

James Halliday
Remarkably deep purple-crimson; first tasted Mar '10 and given 95 points, and has cruised through the last 3 years like Black Caviar, with a virtually unlimited future; it exudes blackberry and spice fruit perfectly framed by fine, ripe tannins and quality French oak. Fully merits its price; the St Peters vineyard has a stellar terroir.

Deep, dark purple/red. Amazing colour for its age. Spicy and toasty oaky aromas, intense and complex, albeit fairly oak-accented. Very good flavour and structure, intense and focused, quite high in tannins but soft and fleshy, with tightly focused, concentrated flavour of spices and dark-cherry fruit. Great flavour and structure, which lingers long on the farewell. Excellent wine indeed. Still very youthful. Long-term aging.

Cedar and pencil shaving scented oak leads the bouquet with brooding dark berry fruit and violet florals following through. Menacing in aromatic intensity but the piquancy of fresh oak works like a dose of smelling salts. Reeks of serious. Palate is fuller than expected; a progression of wild black berry herbal/sweetness, cinnamon and cardamom spice, slatey minerality, sandalwood oak, tanned hide detail, green herbs and some gritty, faintly bitter tannins trimming the generous, riper fruit flavours. The wine is better after a day open as oak and the shrill tone of tannin subsides, revealing a wine built for a long haul. I like the flavours when first opened anyway, and shines with a refined medium weight. Impressive.
94+ points, The Wine Front (December 2011)
