The opportunity to visit the Centennial Cellar and taste every single vintage dating back from 1878 to 1926, spanning 49 vintages. In addition, also taste a wine from each decade, 2016 to 1926, spanning 10 vintages, to understand the ageing process of these wines. The tasting panel included the Seppeltsfield winemaking team – led by Chief Winemaker Fiona Donald, Charlie Seppelt and Julian Bermingham, along with Seppelt Family Member Bill Seppelt, former Fortified Winemaker James Godfrey and Media – Andrew Caillard MW, Nick Ryan, Max Allen, Erin Larkin, Katie Spain, David Sly, Fongyee Walker MW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWarren Randall, Executive Chairman and Proprietor, Seppeltsfield said:\u003cbr\u003e“As the current custodian of the Seppeltsfield Centennial Cellar, I am incredibly proud of the amazing legacy and vision of Benno Oscar Seppelt, son of our founders Joseph and Johanna Seppelt, dating back to 1878.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eA legacy that would outspan his lifetime, a gift to his great and great-great grand-children and beyond.
