Description

Para Liqueur Aged Tawny Port comes from a Solera (never ending) system and this is truly a superb port. First released in 1953, the wine commonly known as Para Port is based on Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, matured in seasoned oak barrels for around 28 years. The first releases of 'Para Port' were 1922, 1925, 1927, 1930, 1933, 1939, 1944 and 1947. The vintage date, however, refers to the oldest component of the blend, which conflicted with the then-new labelling standards. A series of â€˜catch-upâ€™ bottlings numbered 101-126 followed and these eventually made way for the release in 2004 of the first 100% single vintage wine (1976), the Single Vintage Para Port.

Seppeltsfield

In 1849, Joseph Ernst Seppelt, a merchant from Poland, migrated to Australia with his family. In 1851, he and his family settled in the Barossa Valley and bought the property which they named Seppeltsfield. When Joseph died, his eldest son, Benno, took over and continued to expand Seppeltsfield, and by the 20th Century it was Australia's largest winery, annually producing 2 million litres of wine. Later generations expanded both wineries and vineyards. Seppeltsfield is now one of Australia’s oldest wineries.

Their 100 hectare vineyards produce some of the world’s finest Shiraz, and also include plantings of Grenache, and small plantings of Touriga and Palomino. The soils are heavy and red brown, and the location is warm and dry with an average of only 500 mm annual rainfall.

Seppeltsfield is famous for its signature wine, the Para Tawny, the only wine in the world to release a 100 year old, single vintage every year.
