TASTING NOTES FOR Seppeltsfield The Westing Shiraz Barossa Valley South Australia 2019

🍷 Appearance
Deep crimson with a dark, glass-staining core. Dense and powerful, reflecting its single-vineyard Barossa origins.

👃 Aromas
Rich and expressive, with ripe blackberry, dark cherry and plum.
Layers of spice, roasted herbs, dark chocolate and a subtle savoury edge—think olive and soy—add depth and complexity.

👅 Palate
Full-bodied and concentrated, delivering intense dark fruits—blackberry, blueberry and black cherry.
A powerful yet balanced palate, with plush fruit weight supported by spice, cocoa and savoury elements, all lifted by a fresh acid line.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Firm and structured, with robust, grainy tannins providing grip and longevity.
The finish is long and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, spice and a slightly bitter-sweet chocolate note.

🍇 Overall Style
A premium single-vineyard Barossa Shiraz—bold, muscular and deeply flavoured.
Showcases the power of the Barossa’s Western Ridge, combining richness and intensity with structure and cellaring potential.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with tomahawk steak, slow-cooked beef, lamb shoulder or rich barbecue dishes. Also excellent with aged cheeses and hearty winter meals.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A serious, high-impact Barossa Shiraz that delivers power, depth and pedigree.
Perfect for mixed dozens where you want a premium, statement red—built to impress now with decanting or reward patience in the cellar.
