Grüner Veltliner 2021
Overview
Overview
During 150 years of winemaking, Seppelt has built a reputation of innovation and dedication to quality. The Seppelt approach is to harness the strength and characteristics of each region and create wines which are varietally and regionally expressive– wines with a ‘sense of place’.
The Henty district in far south-western Victoria has a long history of producing finely structured cool climate varietals with unique regional character. Gruner Veltliner, an aromatic white variety originating from some of the coolest countries in Europe, is perfectly suited to this environment. The 2018 vintage has produced a wine with perfumed aromatics and a textured palate, superbly balanced with a long finish.
