Andrew Seppelt has moved with a degree of caution in setting up Murray Street Vineyard, possibly because of inherited wisdom and the business acumen of partner Bill Jahnke, a successful investment banker with Wells Fargo. Andrew is a direct descendant of Benno and Sophia Seppelt, who built Seppeltsfield and set the family company bearing their name on its path to fame. The partnership has 46 ha of vineyards, one block at Gomersal, the other at Greenock, with the lion’s share going to shiraz, followed by grenache, mourvedre, viognier, marsanne, semillon and zinfandel. Most of the grapes are sold, with a small (but hopefully increasing) amount retained for the Murray Street Vineyard brand. The Benno (Shiraz Mataro) is the icon tribute on the masculine side; the Sophia (Shiraz) the feminine icon. Unusually good point of sale/propaganda material. No red wines submitted for this edition. Exports to the UK, the US, Canada and Denmark.
