The 2023 Seppeltsfield The Northing Single Vineyard Barossa Shiraz is a powerful yet finely balanced expression of Barossa Valley Shiraz, sourced from a single vineyard that highlights the character of its site. Lifted aromas of blackberry, dark plum and black cherry are layered with notes of violet, black pepper, liquorice and subtle cedar, offering both richness and aromatic complexity.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with concentrated dark fruit, fine-grained tannins and balanced natural acidity. Flavours of blackberry, mulberry and ripe plum are complemented by hints of dark chocolate, baking spice and savoury herbs, while carefully integrated oak contributes texture and depth without overshadowing the fruit. The finish is long, structured and persistent, reflecting the concentration and elegance expected from a premium single-vineyard Barossa Shiraz.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2023 Seppeltsfield The Northing Single Vineyard Barossa Shiraz is an excellent choice for those seeking a premium Barossa Shiraz with intensity, structure and ageing potential. It pairs beautifully with grilled rib-eye steak, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, braised beef cheeks, venison or mature hard cheeses. Enjoy now after decanting, or cellar confidently over the next 12–15 years as it develops additional savoury complexity and refined bottle character.
