21 Year Old Para Tawny, Seppeltsfield
Barossa Valley, Australia
The 1999 vintage 21-Year-Old Para Tawny is proudly a single vintage fortified wine, whereby parcels have been matured in old oak hogsheads. Brandy spirit has been used as the fortification element, which along with extensive oxidative ageing, gives rise to roasted nut, praline and butterscotch aromas and flavours. A fine example of single vintage Tawny from extended barrel maturation, lifted, fresh & elegant.
“Tawny” styles in Australia refer to fortified wines made from red grapes. Grapes for the Para Tawny series are sourced across the estate, representing the diverse holdings of vineyards that cross the Barossa's western ridge, from the north to the southern grounds.

Over its 167-year history Seppeltsfield has built its reputation on the production of exceptional fortified wines and remains the only winery in the world to release a 100-year-old, single vintage wine each year.
Established in 1851 by Joseph Seppelt, the winery flourished in the 20th century as part of the Seppelt family’s expanding interests in the liquor industry, which grew to include vineyards and wineries across various Australian regions. The Seppelts maintained ownership until 1985, when the winery entered a period of corporate ownership which lasted until 2007. Seppeltsfield is now owned by Warren Randall – a qualified viticulturist and winemaker who worked for the Seppelt family during the 1980s. Randall has led a Seppeltsfield renaissance by developing its vineyard holdings on the ‘Western Ridge’ of the Barossa Valley and restoring the winery’s heritage listed buildings, including the prized 1888 Gravity Cellar.
Most Tawny styles are made of a blend of
vintages, but in certain exceptional years, Seppeltsfield
will draw off individual vintages to bottle as a special
celebratory release. Fortification with grape brandy
occurs during fermentation, with extensive oxidative
aging in old oak hogsheads.
