Seppelt DP 37 Tokay

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.

This Tokay offers excellent value for money. color> Onion brown colour with subtle olive green hue. The nose has an excellent lifted raisin honey top note followed by plum pudding end notes. Creamy palate texture, quite luscious, with distinctive honey raisin flavours. Clean spirit with very long honey, spice, caramel and raisin aftertaste.
