Seppeltsfield

Between Greenock where Kalleske is located and Tanunda where Langmeil, Rolf Binder, Z, and our lodging are located, is the beautiful little village of  Seppeltsfield. The heart of the village is the massive Seppeltsfield winery with large buildings crowned with medieval turrets. Although they've been making wines for more than a century and they have a huge historic sign in the Adelaide Railway Station, the wine is not renown. The village however, with its palm lined streets is picturesque.

Between the hamlets of Marananga and Seppeltsfield is the Gnadenfrei Lutheran Church established in 1879.
With the exception of the church, from this point all one can see in any direction are the vineyards of the Barossa.
Just prior to entering the village of 
Seppeltsfield there is a massive and out of place Greek structure. Carol correctly guesses that it is a mausoleum. It is the family mausoleum of the Seppelt family and was built in 1927.
