    • Description

      This wine is reminiscent of an aged Portuguese Vintage Port that is semi translucent in colour – now approaching a Tawny Port visually. Bright red colour with brick red hue. The nose is very fine, filled with aroma of marzipan, aged brandy spirit, plump dried raisins, prunes and liquorice all sorts. The tannins are fine and dry – again Portuguese in character. Flavours of raisins, old brandy (beautifully balanced) and liquorice all sorts. Excellent length and depth with dry finish.

    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.
