This rare wine was made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown at the Drumborg Vineyard in southern Victoria and is only produced when the wine measures up to the label's very high standards. In favourable seasons, Seppelt's cool Drumborg Vineyard produces outstanding quality grapes which are used to make distinctive, single-vineyard table wines, noted for their depth of flavour and longevity. Matured in new French oak barrels for 15 months. The 1991 Seppelt Drumborg Cabernet is deep plum red in colour. Displays violets, dark berry fruit and plum varietal characters, indicative of classic Cabernet Sauvignon from cool climates. This is beautifully complemented by cedary French oak which, together with the fruit, exhibits a complex, tobacco character. Medium to full bodied in structure, the palate has ripe, berry Cabernet flavours, with great mouth-filling qualities and a soft, long tannin finish. Bottle maturation has provided excellent integration between the fruit and oak, giving rich flavours yet elegant structure. Peak drinking Now - 2002 Alc/Vol: 12.2%. Notes sourced from Seppelt.
