Seppeltsfield

Barossa Valley, Australia

Seppeltsfield’s winemaking philosophy reflects both their history and future endeavors. Their promise, in terms of wine style, is to craft wines ultimately for enjoyment, that complement conversations, good food and good living. Alongside of this, for the premium red bottlings and fortifieds, comes an eye on ageability. They place significance in ensuring balance in the key elements of fruit character, tannin, and oak to ensure each wine has the ‘structure’ to mature gracefully. Their unique 1888 Gravity Cellar plays a significant role in the style of many of their bottlings, and for the still wines, they celebrate the re-imagining of traditional fortified varietals. These elements are grounded in a belief of place over person. The winemaking team’s primary aspiration is to translate the character of the vineyard sites and each season – in the wines themselves.
