Seppelt Fortified Wine price drop!

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.

A wonderful example of aged Tokay made from the Muscadelle grape. Deep onion brown colour with sienna brown centre and deep olive green hue. Superb nose with top notes of toffee, honey and dried raisins. Wonderful palate concentration, with flavours of honey, toffee and raisins emerging. Excellent length, rich luscious creamy texture, with fine aged spirit background. Exceptionally long toffee, caramel and honey aftertaste.
