Seppelt St Peters Great Western Vineyards Shiraz 1995

Seppelt St Peters Great Western Vineyards Shiraz 1995Released in small quantities and only in exceptional years, St Peters Shiraz is Seppelt's flagship wine, testimony to the distinctive style and pedigree of Grampians Shiraz. The first vintage of this iconic wine was released in 1964 as Seppelt Great Western Hermitage and the name changed to St Peters in 1998 in honour of the historic St Peters vineyard which was the first vineyard planted in the region in 1863.
