Glass half full for old-timer

To celebrate Seppelt’s 160th birthday, departing senior winemaker Emma Wood went in search of some of the great old Sepps wines of yesteryear.

Successive owners have not only battered and bruised the name of Seppelt during the past 30 years, but left little witness to the wealth of its wine history, writes Jeni Port in The Age.
