Description

The Seppeltsfield The Westing Shiraz is a single-vineyard wine with a lot of character.

With a few years of bottle age now, the wine shows a brilliant ruby colour and is developing some lovely aged aromas and flavours. The nose is framed by blck and red fruits which are still youthful and fresh, as well as some cocoa and orange, with a hint of meatiness now starting to come through. The palate is rich and firm, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity backed by deep black and red fruits. There is a lovely mouthfeel and the flavours linger on and on.

Drink now or keep 'til 2030 - either way you're in for a treat.

94 Points - "Obviously from the western edge of the Barossa Valley. I just caught up with winemakers Fiona Donald and Charlie Seppelt, via web thingy, which is the way it goes at the moment. Classic hearty Barossa fare here. Dark chocolate, blackberry, baking spice. Full-bodied, thick tannin, bit of tar and new leather, plenty of chew, almost a black forest cake flavour, fresh though. Thick ropes of tannin to close on a long finish. It’ll bring a smile to the face of those seeking ripe chocolaty Shiraz." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

97 Points - "Glass-staining dense, concentrated purple/red/black colour, the bouquet a riot of sweet blackberry, violet and assorted spices, including licorice. The wine is very powerful in the mouth, concentrated, firm and persuasive, powering long into the aftertaste, which is decadently rich and super-ripe, the lavish flavour well matched by mouth-coating tannins. Mightily impressive and a must for the cellar." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

Our ‘Grounds’ red wine releases are a study of the Barossa’s regional hero - the beautiful Shiraz. Grown on single vineyard sites across the patchwork of the Barossa, our wine releases look to express the differences in locale of where our fruit is farmed. As our interpretation of Barossa ‘terroir’, our Grounds releases look to apply a beguiling simplicity for what in European terms is often complicated and complex idea of the relationship between geography, geology, climate and history.

‘The Westing’ Barossa Shiraz is a single vineyard wine, from the Seppeltsfield ‘V Block’ planting on the Western boundary of the Barossa Valley designated zone. The vineyard undulates over 125m on red-brown Earths over alkaline subsoils, and typically is one of the earliest ripening Shiraz vineyards within the Seppeltsfield stable.. Drink now or with cellaring potential through to 2030.

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.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

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.
