The Story
The historic Great Terraced Grenache vineyard, originally planted in 1855 and replanted in the 1950s, lies on the western boundary of the Seppeltsfield estate and is planted in contoured rows at 220-280 meters above sea level. The majority of the vineyard is gnarly, thick-trunked, bush-vine grenache. For this wine, a selection is made of blocks and rows on the mid and lower levels of the vineyard, which are less exposed and moderated by cooling gully breezes, with red brown soils of slate, quartz, and ironstone.
About Seppeltsfield
Producer Story
Seppeltsfield is quite literally one of the most historic estates in all of Australia, established in the Barossa Valley by Joseph and Johanna Seppelt in 1851, just 15 years after the European settlement of South Australia. The Seppelt family maintained ownership of Seppeltsfield until 1985. The company then went into a period of corporate ownership before returning to independent ownership in 2007, under longtime Seppelt winemaker and viticulturist Warren Randall. The estate has become a continuation of the Seppelt family legacy, with a focus on world-class, historic fortified wines as well as affordable, balanced and nuanced classic dry wine styles. Seppeltsfield is dedicated to respecting its significant history alongside an eye to the future: respecting its heritage in a modern world.
