of Seppeltsfield is Triple Creek, a vineyard with rustic elegance, surrounded by the beauty of three natural creeks that meet at the property.
2022 Triple Creek Single Vineyard Shiraz
$120.00
Our Barossa Valley Shiraz is a combination of our three best parcels of shiraz picked from separate patches across the estate. With delicious hints of plum and rich dark fruit with added notes of spice and pepper, this wine has balanced oak with an elegant softness and wonderful structure. This wine has classic shiraz characteristics and is a real crowd pleaser.
Tasting note
Our Single Vineyard Shiraz is made from a combination of the best three parcels of Shiraz from our estate from low yielding vines and an element of dry grown hand picked and pruned vines.
This classis shiraz has hints of plum and rich dark fruit with notes of spice and pepper. Balanced oak with an elegant softness and wonderful structure.
Vineryard
Interwoven between three beautiful creeks sits our vineyard featuring vines over 27 years old over three classic grape varietals, Shiraz, Mataro and Merlot. It is this patch on the Western side of the Barossa where some of the best grapes in some of Australia’s most iconic wines were harvested and Triple Creek Wines are no exception.
Vintage
Quality is exceptional across the varieties and styles for 2022. Favourable conditions in Spring provided for ideal flowering and fruit set. Summer was relatively mild providing for optimal growing conditions. Harvest began in March and went well into April. Reds have intense, rich, and balanced flavours and colours. A vintage for now and the long term.
Winemaking
Our fruit is picked at the optimum time to allow it to fully ripen to get the perfect balance of alcohol, acid and fruit before it is hand picked and gently crushed. Open fermented and finished in both French and American Oak.

Sam Kim from Wine Orbit –
Gracefully opulent and complex, the enticing bouquet shows dark fruit intensity, cake spice, cured
meat, rich floral and cedar characters. The concentrated palate delivers awesome weight and
depth, superbly framed by richly textured mouthfeel and beautifully melded tannins. Sumptuous
and harmonious with a prolonged, gratifying finish. At its best: now to 2040. $120.00.
Point: 96/100
