Limited Stocks | 97 Points - Angus Hughson
Seppelt Drumborg Riesling is widely rated amongst the finest Australian Rieslings. Located 30 kilometres north-west of Portland, Victoria, the Drumborg vineyard is one of the coolest vineyards of mainland Australia. The 2021 Seppelt Drumborg Riesling is another top-line example of Drumborg's ability to produce flavoursome, elegant, yet an intensely focused style of Riesling.
"97 Points. Many of the greatest wines in the world show themselves from day 1. Power, balance and complexity leap from the glass to illustrate sensational quality. This is one of those wines and a good sign for cool climate Victorian riesling from the 2021 vintage. Pale in colour this wine instantly impresses with its brightness and purity with orchard fruit aromas of pear and apple lifted by a chalky, floral and spicy lift. It’s not shy at all but also the aromas are compact and concentrated showing a wine that is built for the long term. That is followed by a pristine palate that is dry and crisp, yet also has great texture too. It is is far away from the lean, acid driven riesling style with its mouth filling, silky fruits. But the acidity is still there and it underlies a beautifully long and slightly salty finish. It’s a superb Australian riesling that is already drinking beautifully but will also reward time hidden away in a cool, dark cellar. $40. Drink: 2021 - 2038"- Angus Hughson, winepilot.com.
"96 Points. A new senior winemaker (Clare Dry) and a top vintage combine to produce a fully formed classic Drumborg Riesling. Tasted just 10 days after bottling and it was already in scintillating form. Can't wait to see how this progresses over the decade. Palest lemon in colour and a mere 11% alcohol belies the depth and beauty of this wine; its alluring florals of white flowers and spring blossom, of fresh-cut citrus, lime zest and and musk. It all rolls into a textural, juicy, lemony-fresh, lightly spiced wonder, with life assured for a decade and more. $40. 11% alc" - Jeni Port, winecompanion.com.au.
