Seppelt DP 33 Muscat

Consumption of fortified wines has been steadily falling for years, although according to industry statistics there was a small growth early in 2003 and in part this must be attributed to the re-release of the re-packaged Seppelt fortified range. The bean counters at Southcorp (Seppelt’s parent company) finally realized that the packaging costs of tall, trendy half bottles was more than that of full bottles. So now gone are the 375ml “Terrain series” bottles and in come the traditional 750ml Portugese Vintage Port bottles.
The quality has not diminished, but what’s more, the price still remains the same as for the 375ml. bottles!It’s no wonder that wine lovers are suddenly re-discovering these very classy wines.

At $15 a bottle, the Seppelt Classic series of fortified wines guarantees many a fine session in front of a winter wood fire. Deep onion brown colour with olive green hue. Aroma of raisin, toffee, honey and just a hint of marmalade jam. Creamy palate texture, velvet smooth with very long palate flavours of crushed raisin and honey followed by a warm spirit aftertaste.
