About this wine
Seppeltsfield Great Terraced Vineyard Grenache
From the storied Seppeltsfield, a crown jewel of the Barossa, comes the Great Terraced Vineyard Grenache. The 2020 vintage is a special release to mark 170 years of the estate, established in 1851. It is a drinkable tribute to the estate’s icon vineyard, first planted in 1855. It is a celebratory and distinguished bottling that captures the confluence of tradition and a new chapter.
A single vineyard Grenache, the Great Terraced Vineyard consists of bush vine Grenache grown in soils famously rich in ironstone, quartz and slate. This iron-oomph and bracing minerality carries through to a powerful palate in a medium-bodied Barossan that is astonishingly concentrated. Raise a glass to 170 years!

James Halliday
Hand picked and sorted, 80% crushed and destemmed, 20% whole bunches; two-day cold soak, 14 days on skins, matured in old oak (2600L vats) for 9 months. The bright, clear hue sets the tone for a wine of absolute purity, both of place and variety. Raspberry leads the way, studded with spices and a dusting of white pepper.

Very bright wine, blueberry, cherry, lavender with something stony going on. Medium-bodied, tight, a little Turkish delight perfume, excellent tannin, raspberry juice with a pomegranate freshness on the long finish, slightly saline in aftertaste. Really lovely wine, expressive and lively, with quality of tannin a particular highlight. I reckon it will rate better again with a little more time in bottle.

Huon Hooke
Good depth of red-purple youthful colour, with a bright young aroma of earthy spice and tarry terrestrial nuances, with deep-set blackberry. The palate is soft and full-bodied, also savoury and drying, with ample tannins which are nevertheless soft and rounded and easy, but the drying after-effect marks this as a more serious style of grenache, a wine that will age well apart from already being a great drink in its extreme youth. Impressive wine. (c15% whole bunches. Matured in 2800-litre casks)

This beautifully pitched Barossa Grenache from 2021 adds another reference point for the rise and rise of Australian Grenache. Sometimes referred to as warm climate Pinot Noir, you can certainly see that finesse, poise and subtlety here. As always with high quality Grenache this is a wine that creeps up on you with wafts of black cherry, new leather, baked earth and spice aromas with oak adding a gently savoury backdrop. There is also a delicious silkiness to earthy, red fruit flavours under which a backbone of al-dente tannins help to retain focus and give backing to a sustained, finely balanced finish. Super sophisticated, this is a wine that needs a couple of years to build but then promises great things over the medium term.

Deep red and blue fruit is married to delicate spice and bark notes. Full-bodied, but lively and self-confidently dry with serious tannins for this grape. Needs a bit more time for them to fully integrate. From 60 year old vines, the wood for which was sourced from a mid-19th century vineyard. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. Screw cap.

Seppeltsfield is a showpiece of the Barossa Valley, a magnificent complex of 19th century winery buildings surrounded by almost 100 hectares of vineyards. Seppeltsfield was a focal point of the fledgling Barossa wine industry from the 1850s and now boasts the world’s longest unbroken chain of vintage wines, going back to 1878, enabling the release of a genuine 100-year-old fortified wine each year since 1978. Apart from the extraordinary range of fortifieds, Seppeltsfield today also produces a range of limited production table wines, including blends of Shiraz, Grenache and Touriga, and sparkling wines under the Gert’s Blend label.
