Home | Vineyards & Wineries | Our Vineyards | St. Peters Great Western
The St. Peters Vineyard has been the spiritual home of the Seppelt Great Western vineyards for over a century. The heavy clay soils, cool summers and mature, low yielding vines combine to produce fruit with an intensity of flavour matched by a refined elegance, clear regional character and the structure necessary for extended cellaring. The Shiraz clone of the St. Peters block comes from pre-phylloxera stock and it is highly likely that this clone of Shiraz does not exist in France anymore. As wine writer Jeremy Oliver puts it "At its best, Shiraz from Great Western is perhaps the most drinkable in Australia. In boxing parlance it's a middleweight: still able to pack a punch of flavour, yet built for endurance." The Seppelt St. Peters Vineyard can rightfully claim to be amongst Australia’s finest and is the centrepiece of the House of Seppelt vineyards.
