Overview

The 1897 Seppeltsfield Para Vintage Tawny is an exceptionally rare release from Seppeltsfield’s historic Centennial Collection. Produced from a single vintage and matured in oak for 100 years, it represents a remarkable surviving expression of nineteenth-century Australian winemaking and one of the great fortified wine traditions of the Barossa Valley.

Centennial Collection

Seppeltsfield’s Centennial Collection forms an unbroken lineage of single-vintage Tawny dating back to 1878. The tradition began when Benno Seppelt reserved a barrel of the 1878 vintage to mature for 100 years, with subsequent vintages laid down to continue the collection.

Maturation

The 1897 Para Vintage Tawny spent a full century maturing in oak before release. This extraordinary ageing period creates immense concentration and complexity, developing the deeply evolved rancio, coffee, caramel, treacle and spice characters associated with Seppeltsfield’s oldest Para Tawnies.

Critic Reviews

Andrew Caillard MW
“Deep mahogany chestnut. Intense burnt coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, rancio, five spice aromas
”

Max Allen
“Intense rancio and tawny notes; ludicrously treacly
”

Nick Ryan
“Dauntingly viscous. Church incense, sweet-spiced nuts, dark caramel, exotic spice.”

Presentation

This 375ml release is presented in a timber presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity, enhancing its appeal as a highly collectible release from Seppeltsfield’s Centennial Collection.

Producer

Seppeltsfield was established in the Barossa Valley in 1851 and is internationally renowned for its historic fortified wines. Its Centennial Collection, with vintages extending back to the nineteenth century, remains the estate’s most celebrated and distinctive legacy.
