Two of our favourite winemakers, Jen Pfeiffer and Sam Plunkett were releasing experimental lower alcohol wines at an event in Seymour so we decided to make the trip. We were glad we did. We were treated to a detailed overview of the winemaking process and the complicated process of reducing the alcohol while maintaining taste.
Then we had a buffet lunch and a tasting of the soon to be released mid strength wines. They are releasing a Bubbles, Sav Blanc, Rose and a Shiraz. We enjoyed the taste well enough and thought the Rose and Shiraz were the standouts. It will be interesting to watch development of this style.
I have enjoyed Sam Plunkett's red wine for many years now and Claire particularly likes Jen Pfeiffer's Sav Blanc so it was great to meet with both these winemakers and hear their history.
For some years we have been intending to visit Seymour to see the Veterans' Walk so this was our opportunity.
We stayed in Seymour over night and had a great meal at "The Prince". The place is owned by the people that operate the Tooborac Pub and Brewery and the Tooborac Pie shop. So the evening meal was a very local event!
