In 1851 Joseph Seppelt and his family settled on the banks of Greenock Creek, a tributary of the Para River which flows through the heart of Australia’s Barossa Valley. He renamed it Seppeltsfield and founded what was to become one of the world’s great wine estates, today housing one of the world’s most complete collection of fortified wines, aging gracefully in barrels, and dating back to 1878.

The Seppeltsfield Estate wine family would like to introduce to you its newest relative, Glenpara. The first Glenpara vines were planted in the Barossa during the 1850s by Mr David Randall Esquire, and a decade later Glenpara wines were already being exported. The brand was later acquired by Seppeltsfield, producing wines such as Glenpara Imperial Reserve Hock, and is now proudly relaunched with a range of wines showcasing the finest fruit from Barossa Valley, and in particular the sub region of Seppeltsfield/Greenock .
