Seppeltsfield Description
One of the most historic vineyards in Clare Valley, originally named Quelltaller, that has been in Seppeltsfield's custodianship for decades. Planted with up to 94- year-old Geisenheim clone riesling. The free draining soils range from red brown earth over limestone, to dark brown clay loam over silt stone and slate, which give rise to characteristic mineral structure and mid- palate richness. Elevation ranges from 380-400m,
providing an extended ripening season. Vines are detail pruned and shoot thinned for canopy management.
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.
