‘Statement acquisition’ leaves Seppeltsfield with another 800 acres of vineyards

[Matt@5453]

“The acquisition of another 800 acres now brings our total vineyard holdings in the Barossa to 4,000 acres (1,618 hectares), the largest-ever vineyard holdings by a single producer in the Barossa Valley since vineyards were first planted by European settlers in 1843.

“This brings Seppeltsfield holdings to 20 percent of the Barossa’s total red vineyards, putting us in a strong position to consistently supply in excess of 12 million bottles of Barossa luxury red wine to the world.”

I loved this quote from the linked press release:

"The Barossa is recognised as one of the top five winegrowing regions in the world, alongside Bordeaux, Champagne, Tuscany and the Napa Valley. It is a very rare opportunity to acquire 800 acres of prime vineyards in one of these five regions".

I guess it must be easy to buy vineyards in suboptimal regions like Burgundy, Piedmont, or the Rhone!

I'm waiting for the good old days of when Warren Randall was doing great things at Tinlins in MV...lovely drinking Shiraz sold by the gallon for no money at all. Clearly it was a great business model, look at him now. Perhaps that's the plan for Ryecroft

That really is a laughable claim.
