Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The Drumborg vineyard, 30 kilometers northwest of Portland, is one of the coolest on the Australian mainland. Occasionally, the quality of these grapes meet the very high standard required to release the wine under the Seppelt Drumborg Vineyard label. The Seppelt Drumborg Riesling has achieved this standard.
Winemaker Notes
Riesling was the first variety planted at Drumborg in 1964. This wine is one of Seppelt’s most sought-after whites due to its fruit purity, structure, intensity of flavor, 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 purest expression of the vineyard
