New Vintage | 95 Points - James Halliday
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. 2020 Seppelt Drumborg Riesling is another top-line example of Drumborg's ability to produce flavoursome, elegant, yet an intensely focused style of Riesling.
"95 Points. Gleaming straw-green hue is a come-on, the blossom-filled bouquet picking up the story. The palate changes gear to a bright, fresh and crisp interplay between mineral acidity and hints of passionfruit. Dyed-in-the-wool cellar-worthy, its greatest years stretch long into the future. $40. 11.5% alc. Drink by 2040. Screwcap" - James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au.
“This wine comes from a 55-year-old vineyard planted in Victoria’s cool south-west that reliably produces taut, lean, ageworthy riesling, the kind that’s brilliant with oysters when it’s young but also develops richer, toasty flavours in the cellar. The 2020 vintage, which was a little milder and damper than many other parts of the country, was superb for Drumborg riesling: the wine has the most enticing aromas of lemon blossom and just a lick of luscious sweetness to balance the typical bracing acidity.”- Max Allen, 'Best Wines of the 2020 Vintage', Australian Financial Review.
