Seppelt's 2022 Luxury Collection features the new vintage of its most sought-after still and sparkling wines, with eight varieties from Victoria’s Grampians, Heathcote, and Henty regions.
Crafted by Seppelt senior winemaker Clare Dry, who joined the company in 2020, the annual release has been keenly awaited by both Dry and enthusiasts and collectors alike.
“Many of the wines were crafted in my first vintage at the helm of Seppelt and I’m thrilled to showcase my winemaking approach, building on over 170 years of heritage behind the label,” said Dry.
Released annually, the collection is led by the 2020 St Peters Grampians Shiraz, sourced from fruit from the Great Western Vineyard, with superb ageing potential.
Six wines follow from the 2021 vintage, including four from Seppelt’s Drumborg Vineyard, one of the southernmost vineyards in mainland Australia.
The collection is completed by the new release of Salinger Vintage Cuvée, one of Seppelt’s ever-popular sparkling wines.
The release also includes the 2021 Chalambar Grampians & Heathcote Shiraz and 2021 Jaluka Henty Chardonnay, wines which Dryn says are complex yet refined.
Rounding out the Collection is the 2017 release of Salinger Vintage Cuvée, a wine crafted in the traditional method, and spending four years on lees.
The 2022 Seppelt Luxury Collection is available online and from select fine wine retailers nationally.
