This isn’t just a flagship - it’s a benchmark. Released only in exceptional years and in seriously small quantities, St Peters is Seppelt’s big-moment Shiraz. A wine that defines Grampians style and has been doing so for decades. Its story kicks off back in 1964 (back when it answered to the name Great Western Hermitage), and since 1998 it’s proudly worn the St Peters label - a nod to the very first vineyard planted in the region. History, bottled.

Why do we love this wine?
And the wine? Bloody magnificent. Perfumed aromatics leap out first - ripe cherry and blackberry wrapped in dark chocolate, with cracked black pepper and graphite creeping in as it breathes. Oak here is handled with absolute restraint - an old French vat, seasoned barriques and just 24% new oak. Enough to frame the fruit, never enough to bully it. There’s also a small whole-bunch component, adding a subtle flinty edge that gives the palate extra intrigue and lift. This is powerful but composed Shiraz. Deeply flavoured, beautifully balanced, and built for the long game. No wonder Ray Jordan dropped a lazy 98 points, calling it one of his all-time favourite Australian shiraz - and honestly, we get it. Drink now if you must, but this one’s comfortably cruising out to 2049 if you’ve got the patience. A genuine icon. No hype required.

Ray Jordan
"At the risk of repeating myself, this is one of my very favourite Australian Shiraz. I love it. Always have. Love the perfumed aromatics that get things started. Vibrant ripe cherry and blackberry notes, with a liberal coating of dark chocolate. Traces of cracked black pepper and graphite emerge with breathing. Managing the oak is fundamental to St Peters and winemaker Clare Dry uses an old French vat, older barriques and just 24% new oak. Interestingly, Dry also uses a small amount of whole bunch ferment which appears as the slightly flinty palate characters. Another cracking good wine. Drink to: 2024-2049, Rating: 98 Points" - Ray Jordan
Huon Hooke
"An earthy/tarry overtone that is distinctively Great Western. The wine is very full bodied and powerful, with concentrated flavour that persists for an eternity on the finish. Tannins are lavish and ripely supple, with a lick of licorice, blackberry and black pepper at the finish, all shrouded by the serious structure. A smashing shiraz. Drink: 2026 to 2047: Rating: 97 Points" - Huon Hooke, The Real Review

"There's the good news, and there's the great news. The first good news is that this release is outstanding. This is an outstanding St Peters Shiraz. It's open for business, for sure, but it has the structure and length to carry it for many years. It tastes of black pepper, bacon, sweet plums, redcurrant, bay laves and smoked cherries, with sweet spice, hazelnut and cedarwood notes also contributing. It's plush, generous and eager to please, within a spicy-peppery context, but the tannin is finely etched and the length of the palate is excellent. Alcohol: 14.5%; Price: $80; Closure: Screwcap; Drink: 2020-2040; Rated: 96 Points" - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
