Our Pierlot Brut Cuvée Rosé celebrates the determination and vision of Charles Pierlot, the Champenoise Winemaker who pioneered the production of the first méthode traditionelle sparkling wine in Australia in 1890 at our Great Western Winery. Charles Pierlot was instrumental in crafting Seppelt’s reputation as the home of sparkling wine in Australia.
Made from the traditional sparkling varieties of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The Pierlot Brut Cuvée Rosé is a reflection of the finesse and elegance of the cool climate Henty region in south western 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.
