Heady aromatics of blackstrap rum, charred Atherton almonds (a specialty of Queensland), roasted barley, chicory liqueur, and dried plums. A viscous and concentrated yet elegant wine with supple sweetness balanced by oak-aged structure and orange-oil acidity. Complex and profound. A perfect wine.

The Story
Seppeltsfield has long been internationally renowned for its treasure trove of fortified wines, highlighted by the centennial collection, the world's only unbroken lineage of single vintage Tawny, dating back to 1878. Every year, Seppeltsfield celebrates the unveiling of one of Australia's most significant wines, with the 100 Year Old Vintage Para Tawny, seeing 100 summers and winters maturing in oak. Each bottle is hand-filled to order, individually numbered, and presented in a black wooden gift box, along with a certificate that can be personalized for each custodian of this historic wine.
About Seppeltsfield
Producer Story
Seppeltsfield is quite literally one of the most historic estates in all of Australia, established in the Barossa Valley by Joseph and Johanna Seppelt in 1851, just 15 years after the European settlement of South Australia. The Seppelt family maintained ownership of Seppeltsfield until 1985. The company then went into a period of corporate ownership before returning to independent ownership in 2007, under longtime Seppelt winemaker and viticulturist Warren Randall. The estate has become a continuation of the Seppelt family legacy, with a focus on world-class, historic fortified wines as well as affordable, balanced and nuanced classic dry wine styles. Seppeltsfield is dedicated to respecting its significant history alongside an eye to the future: respecting its heritage in a modern world.
