Drumborg Vineyard Pinot Noir 2025
Overview
Overview
Sourced from the mature, cool‑climate Drumborg Vineyard 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 viticulturally isolated location.
Seppelt Drumborg Vineyard Pinot Noir is an expression of its unique site. Select parcels of Pinot Noir were chosen for their intensity of flavour and structure. Traditional winemaking techniques were used, followed by maturation in French oak barrique. The 2025 vintage is a powerful iteration that seamlessly reflects its sense of place.

Taste Description
Taste Description
Nose
A complex weave of bramble and forest floor notes framed with dark cherry and lifted by Chinese Five Spice and a subtle cordite note.
Flavours and Palate
Exceptionally even and generous, the palate delivers plush, flavoursome dark cherry and juicy redcurrant fruit. Brambly, forest floor characters add nuance and savoury complexity. The mid palate builds with texture and detail, unfolding cordite elements and fine grained, velvety tannins. Subtle, integrated oak underpins structure and drive, finishing long with restrained power and refined elegance.
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 start to winter before timely late winter and early spring rainfall replenished the soil profile. A warm, sunny and relatively dry growing season followed, resulting in one of the earliest vintages on record at Drumborg Vineyard. Flowering and fruit set were slightly below average, leading to smaller-than-usual yields; however, fruit quality was consistently high across the site.
Clare Dry - Seppelt Winemaker

Most recently, Clare has been instrumental in crafting premium Chardonnay, a variety she greatly enjoys.
