Tasting
The Mount Ida is one of the trio of flagship Shiraz releases from Seppelt, with the Mount Ida sourced from a 40 year old, dry grown vineyard in Heathcote.
The wine has a youthful purple hue with tight grained french oak that is complemented by red berries and musk on the nose.
There is some great fruit in this wine but you can't help but think it's hidden by a decadent sheath of oak, time will tell if all components will fully integrate. The tannin and acid structure does well to keep the wine balanced with some savoury spices and minerality showing themselves on the long finish.
