Seppelt Drumborg Riesling 2024
DOZEN: $442.80 or $36.90 each
2024 is officially the 60th anniversary of the planting of Drumborg vineyard. A truly wonderful milestone! A terrific wine, too, opening with focused aromas of lemon sherbet, pink grapefruit, makrut lime and orange blossom. The palate is just as focused and pure fruited, with the wine's 3.6g/L residual sugar perfectly balanced by its mouth-watering acidity. Have this with food now, but make sure you still have a bottle or two a decade, or longer, from now. (97) PHILIP RICH, Halliday Wine Companion
The Drumborg vineyard is now 60 years old. I’ve never visited it but I’d love to one day.
There’s a delicacy to this wine. It’s the kind of delicacy we don’t see enough of in Australian riesling. The acidity, which is flavoured in itself, plays in with the fruit. There are floral characters, along with apple and lime, and where lime blossom stops and lime leaf starts is hard to tell because everything is marshalled as one. Balanced, yes, this wine is balanced, perfectly. CAMPBELl MATTINSON, The Wine Front
Crisp, herby/nettly and peppery aromas of a cold-climate wine. The palate is very dry and crisp, lively and almost slightly austere, a steely style of riesling with a serious backbone and length, presaging long-term ageing potential. I'd cellar this a while. HUON HOOKE, The Real Review
