Aromas of mulberry and blue fruits with exotic spices and a lifted floral nose. A fine and lean sparkling bead combine with bright, juicy red fruits, spicy notes and a lovely balance of sweetness and tannin.
Vinified on skins in a combination of static and open-top fermenters followed by maturation in 70% stainless steel and 30% seasoned French oak for 12 months prior to secondary fermentation.
A blend of several vintages to add more complexity and depth and to produce a more consistent style every year with less influence from vintage variation.
94 Point Rated - Tyson Stelzer
"The perennial go-to for affordable sparkling shiraz, Original captures the black pepper, satsuma plum and black cherry elegance of Victoria and supports it with masterfully handled, finely structured tannins, beautifully integrated dark chocolate oak and well-gauged dosage. It concludes bright, long, creamy and joyous. Now a non-vintage blend and oaked for the first time, never has Original upheld the effortless calm and spicy black fruit integrity of the house with more finesse... Bravo."
92 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review
"Deepish youthful colour, with some toasty development and smoky reductive notes adding pleasantly to the spicy, raspberry and black cherry fruit. It's medium-bodied at best, soft and round on palate, with easygoing tannins and gentle texture. There's a cooler-climate style and flavour profile here. An elegant wine, youthful but soft, superbly balanced and very drinkable."
90 Point Rated - Jeni Port Halliday Wine Companion
"Drinkers tend to either like sparkling shiraz or they don't. It's the great divider. This classic Victorian is a good starting point for any tour of discovery. It brings the grape's wild earthiness, black fruits and spice to the glass with the added brilliance of bubbles and then dresses it all in a gentle oak-derived savouriness. There is a touch of sweetness, but it's part of the traditional style and it works."
Highly Rated – Campbell Mattinson The Wine Front
"An NV release of Seppelt Original Sparkling Shiraz. Not sure what’s going on here. “Fruit is sourced from vineyards located in Victoria”, which has been the general way with Seppelt Original for a while.
This is an exuberant release. The fruit leaps out at you. Raspberries, plums, cloves and modest spice. If you don’t like fruit sweetness, look away. It’s ripe and fluid and ever-so-delicious to drink, if you’re of a certain mood."
