Home | Vineyards & Wineries | Our Vineyards | Barossa Valley 

Founded originally by English and then German Settlers the Barossa Valley is, and always will be, the birthplace and centre of the Australian Wine Industry. From the time that Joseph Seppelt purchased land in 1851 the House of Seppelt has been synonymous with fortified winemaking in the Barossa Valley.  The warm and dry summer climate of the Barossa Valley is ideal for production of the ripe fruit perfectly suited for fortified wine production. A number of vineyard sites, all mature and low yielding, produce the principle fortified varietals of Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre and Touriga.
