Description

The Seppeltsfield Great Terraced Vineyard Grenache is sourced from old vines planted in 1958 on the Seppeltsfield property.

You can almost sense the history and terroir in each glass, with brilliant red and black fruits jumping from the glass. The rich ironstone, quartz and slate soils give the wine some heft and minerality, with some cinnamon and anise spice adding more complexity. The gentle handling in the winery is expressed in the supple flavours while the great vintage comes through in the ripeness of the fruit.

This is the kind of wine you sip and savour over an evening while you ponder that Seppeltsfield has been making wine for 170 years...

Our ‘Great Terraced Vineyard Grenache’ is a special release to celebrate our 170th Anniversary. Sourced from the iconic ‘Great Terraced Vineyard’ at our historic Seppeltsfield estate in the Barossa Valley.


The 2020 Great Terraced Vineyard Barossa Grenache, is a single vineyard wine. The vineyard consists of bush vine Grenache on the estate hillside, outcrop of ironstone, quartz and slate soil – that is highely prized. The wine was fermented in the historic 1888 Gravity Cellar, gently extracting colour and tannin, this wine is a pure and fine translation of the Great Terraced Vineyard at Seppeltsfield.

95 Points - "A very interesting style here taken from a single vineyard close to the historic Seppeltsfield winery which was originally planted in 1855 by the Seppelt family before being replanted in 1958. There are a range of aspects from east to west, with more of the fruit for this wine taken from the cooler East-facing vineyards. That vineyard blend brings with it both some ripe dark fruits and delicacy. It is a deeply coloured and multi-layered grenache with reserved blackberry, earth and meat stock aromas so more savoury than sweet. The palate is then dry and structural – redskin, potpourri, floral and spicy fruits with a tarry undertow. There is also crunchy acidity giving a vibrant mouthfeel plus some quite firm tannins for grenache. It is all a bit tight and closed right now but super long and well structured, and a fitting first release for this label." Angus Hughson (Wine Pilot)

92 Points - "Deep, bright purple/red hue and a cherry-pip, dark-plum-skin aroma, very fruit-driven and a little straightforward at this early age. Melted chocolate later. There is intensity and drive along the palate, good concentration and a balanced final grip. An excellent wine—all it needs is more time." Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
