Home | The House of Seppelt | Benno Seppelt Legend

To contemporaries Benno Seppelt may have seemed a little strange. Dressed in outfits he designed himself, he always carried two things: an umbrella and a violin. Except when he galloped from Seppeltsfield to Nuriootpa on his white stallion, when he left the violin at home.  

Benno Seppelt could see into the future……especially when it came to wine. A century ago he was blending wines from different regions. It was madness then, it's wisdom today. 

Benno didn’t live forever but his spirit did. It is still at Seppelt in barrels, bottles of bubbles and in the current breed of winemakers - modern Bennos, crafting inspirational wines and continuing a tradition of innovation that began 150 years ago.
