2006 Murray Street Vineyards Shiraz

Barossa Valley SA

5 Star Winery

Est: 2005

Winemaker: Andrew Seppelt

Vineyards/ Winemaking: Andrew & Vanessa Seppelt have moved with a degree of caution in setting up Murray Street Vineyard, possibly because of inherited wisdom. Andrew is a direct descendant of Benno & Sophia Seppelt who built Seppeltfield and set the family company bearing their name on its path. They have 46ha of vineyards, one block at Gomersal, the other at Greenock, with the lion’s share going to shiraz. In 2000 I had the amazing opportunity of working a vintage in France at Chateau de Roquefort, from this experience that the majority of my winemaking concepts were developed.
