SKU: SEP23100YOPAR
In 1978, the 1878 Para Vintage Tawny became Australia’s first ever wine to be released having spent 100 years maturing in oak barrels. The vision for the 100 Year Old Tawny is credited to Benno Seppelt, son of Seppeltsfield founders Joseph & Johanna Seppelt. Like Seppeltsfield’s many expressions of Tawny, the wine’s composition is made up of red grape varieties and is fortified with Brandy spirit.The very finest parcels of Grenache and/or Shiraz are selected each year from the Seppeltsfield estate vineyards and reserved for the crafting of the 100 Year Old Tawny. The wine is fortified with Brandy spirit and directed to old oak barrels to rest within the renowned Centennial Cellar.

”The wine is every bit as awesome as its predecessors, the intensity and the flavours lingering in the mouth for a seemingly endless time. Its acidity has none of the edgy cuts that can sometimes need a spice-laden biscuit or chocolate to tame the acidity, though don’t feel embarrassed if you have either one or both anyway. 100 points? Of course. It is the one and only wine whose history, past, present and future demand it. But that’s not all. The design team has risen to create a stunning upgrade of the box and the print on the 100ml bottle in which this nectar of the gods is sold.”
