For more than 150 years, Seppelt has been a leader in Australian Winemaking. From the early days in the Barossa Valley in 1851, through to the purchase of the Great Western winery in 1918, to the present.

Seppelt has been an engine driving the Australian wine industry forward with a spirit of innovation and dedication to quality. Seppelt proudly presents one of the most versatile portfolios of any winery. A complete showcase of wines spanning sparkling, table and fortified styles, combining an old world pedigree with the new world vision of our winemakers.

Great Western, and its world famous "Drives", are the home of sparkling and table wine production. This diverse range of classics includes such iconic wines as Seppelt "Salinger" Pinot Noir Chardonnay, Great Western Show Sparkling Shiraz and "St Peters" Great Western Shiraz. Great Western Winery was established in 1865, and in 1868 more than 1.5 kms of underground tunnels were dug by miners for sparkling wine maturation, known as "Drives".

\Once completed in 1932 the "Drives" reached 3 km in length.
