About the Centennial Cellar:


Seppeltsfield’s history is punctuated with many moments of visionary foresight to ensure a legacy was passed on to future generations. This is no more evident than in the Centennial Cellar - a truly unique and unparalleled system of maturing single barrels of vintage Tawny for 100 years before release. 

In 1878 Oscar Benno Seppelt selected a puncheon of his finest wine and gave instructions that it was not to be bottled for 100 years. This single barrel of 1878 Tawny port was to remain maturing in a separate room within the bluestone cellars, untouched in the same location 100 years. The tradition of laying down a barrel of the finest wine from each vintage was continued every year following and continues today.

The Centennial Cellar now comprises an unbroken lineage of every vintage from the current year back to 1878. A living museum of Australian winemaking history and undoubtedly the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the Seppeltsfield estate.

Allow time during your visit to Seppeltsfield estate to visit Vasse Virgin skin care, JamFactory Craft & Design studios, Dragan - Fine Art Photography Gallery, Seppeltsfield Cellar Door (bookings required), enjoy a Segway tour, eat at FINO destination restaurant (bookings essential) or refuel at Octeine Coffee.
