Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2020-2028)
ABV: 11.5%
Closure: Stelvin
From vines planted in 1964. Brilliant water like colour with greenish tinged edges. Intense lemon and lime scents fill the nostrils followed by green apple, wet steel, subtle orange rind and flinty mineral notes. Racy flavours of lime, lemon and green apple are delivered with great concentration and precision. Orange rind and steely mineral characters ensue. Finishes dry and very focused with crunchy acidity and a long powerful aftertaste.
Drink over the next 6-8 years plus.
Alc. 11.5%
Seppelt came close to abandoning this vineyard in Henty 30 or so years ago due to variability of the crop, a problem no more. The perfumed fragrance is wonderful, at once light and intense. Citrus and apple blossom notes are quite special, and illuminate the very long palate and aftertaste. Drink by 2039.
