Drumborg Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021
Overview
Overview
Sourced from the mature, cool climate Drumborg Vineayrd in south west Victoria’s Henty region, our Pinot Noir is part of Seppelt’s iconic Drumborg vineyard range. Planted in 1964 by Karl Seppelt, the Drumborg vineyard is renowned for its cool climate, single vineyard wines which are a reflection of the beauty and purity of this isolated site.
Seppelt Drumborg vineyard Pinot Noir is an expression of its unique site. Select parcels of Pinot Noir were chosen for intensity of flavour and structure. Traditional winemaking techniques were used, followed by maturation in French oak barrique. The 2021 vintage is a powerful iteration that seamlessly reflects its sense of place.

Viticulture Vintage & Winemaking
Viticulture Vintage & Winemaking
Henty, Victoria
Henty is one of the coolest wine regions of Australia but is protected by a maritime influence. Famed for being the home of cool climate viticulture and the iconic Drumborg vineyard, Henty is renowned for its Rieslings, Chardonnays and Sparklings.
Vintage Conditions
A dry late winter with very wet conditions during October and November. The summer growing season was mild with a cool and relatively dry harvest period. These conditions resulted in below average yields but an excellent quality vintage for Drumborg in 2021.
