Seppelt St Peters Shiraz 2008

Released in small quantities and only in exceptional years, St Peter’s is Seppelt’ s flagship shiraz, testimony to the distinctive style and pedigree of Grampians shiraz. The lineage of this iconic wine dates back to 1964, when ‘great western hermitage’, as it was then known, was first made. Since 1998 this wine has been called St Peter’s in honour of the first vineyard planted in the region.

Today St Peter’s is sourced from the finest and most intense fruit from the best blocks of the Great Western Vineyard. This wine is classified ‘outstanding’ by Langton’s in its classification of Australian Wine VI.

"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. James Halliday 97 Points"
