Seppeltsfield Description

Well Crafted

Vintage notes: Hailed as an excellent Clare vintage, 2022 was generally cool and dry, though rain events in the Spring helped provide ample moisture. Quantities were also up: an all-around superb and balanced vintage.

Vineyard notes: Several sites, notably a vineyard planted to 80-year-old Geisenheim clone riesling. The free draining soils range from red brown earth over limestone, to dark brown clay loam over silt stone and slate, which give rise to characteristic mineral structure and mid palate richness. Elevations between 380-400m provide classic extended continental ripening season. Vines are detail pruned and shoot thinned for canopy management.

Winemaking: Hand-picked. Free-run juice is cool- fermented until dry in stainless steel, with a single SO2 addition made after fermentation. Brief aging on fine lees before bottling.

Closure: Stelvin ABV: 11.9%

LEGEND tasting notes: Lifted notes of talc powder, lemon aspen (a floral native citrus), and fresh cut pink- lady apples. Grainy lemon wattleseed notes overlay an underlying skeletal backbone of defined mineral acidity. Great flavor depth of finely cut finger limes and textural richness of custard apple and fresh lemon curd. Massive palate length and persistence.

James Suckling: 93 Points

Tons of mandarin oranges and orange blossom aromas. Generous fruit and a nice creaminess on the mid-palate, before the vibrant limey acidity sets it alight at the finish. Based on an 80 year vineyard with some wine from a 40 year old terraced vineyard. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
