Seppeltsfield 2022 Barossa Shiraz

92 Points from James Suckling

Seppeltsfield 2022 Barossa Shiraz is a vibrant and structured expression of classic Barossa winemaking, crafted from estate-grown Shiraz grapes across the region’s western ridge. Vinified in the historic 1888 Gravity Cellar, the wine benefits from gentle extraction techniques that preserve its aromatic complexity and depth. On the nose, it reveals lifted dark cherry, liqueured Davidson plum, and poached lilly pilly, a native Australian berry, layered with brown spices. The palate is rich and balanced, showcasing ripe fruits, subtle floral notes, black pepper, and Dorrigo pepperleaf—a menthol-like native herb—alongside polished oak spice. With its bold character and elegant structure, this Shiraz pairs beautifully with pepper-crusted lamb, steak au poivre, and hearty mushroom dishes, making it a versatile choice for robust, savory meals.
The 2022 vintage has earned notable acclaim, including a 92-point rating from James Suckling, affirming its place among the standout wines of the Barossa Valley. Produced in limited quantities—just 5,000 dozen—the wine reflects Seppeltsfield’s commitment to sustainable viticulture and traditional craftsmanship.
