Seppeltsfield Para Grand 10 Year Old Tawny 750ml

"A beautifully aged Australian Tawny with toasted almonds, rich toffee and a smooth, nutty finish."

Seppeltsfield Para Grand 10 Year Old Tawny is a lovely example of why the Barossa Valley has such a remarkable reputation for fortified wines. Rich, warming and wonderfully smooth, it brings together flavours of roasted nuts, caramel, vanilla and gentle spice, with just enough freshness to keep everything balanced.

With an average of 10 years ageing in oak, there's plenty of complexity here without the heaviness you might expect from an older fortified wine. If you enjoy a good Tawny after dinner, this is a bottle I'd happily recommend. It's also a terrific gift for someone who appreciates traditional Australian fortified wines.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Toasted almonds, praline and vanilla nougat, with hints of caramel, orange zest and gentle spice.

Palate: Rich and beautifully rounded, with flavours of roasted nuts, toffee and sweet dried fruit. Creamy texture and subtle oak complexity give the wine depth, while a touch of freshness balances the sweetness.

Finish: Long, smooth and warming, with lingering toasted almonds, caramel and delicate spice.

Serving Suggestions

This is a wonderful wine to enjoy after dinner, particularly alongside a good cheese platter or something sweet.

Try it with sticky date pudding, crème brûlée, chocolate tart or almond biscotti. It also works beautifully with mature cheddar, blue cheese and roasted nuts.

For something simple, pour yourself a small glass after a good meal and enjoy it on its own.

About The Winery

Seppeltsfield is one of Australia's most historic wineries, established in 1851 by Joseph and Johanna Seppelt in South Australia's Barossa Valley.

The estate has become internationally recognised for its extraordinary fortified wine collection, particularly its famous Centennial Cellar, which holds an unbroken collection of single vintage Tawny dating back to 1878.

The Para range is an important part of this history. Named after the Para River, which runs through the Barossa Valley, these wines celebrate the region's long tradition of producing richly flavoured, beautifully matured fortified wines.

Para Grand Tawny is carefully blended from wines matured in seasoned oak, with an average age of 10 years. The result is a distinctive Australian Tawny that combines rich nutty flavours, gentle sweetness and the complexity that comes from patient ageing.

Ageing and Cellaring

Seppeltsfield Para Grand Tawny has already spent an average of 10 years developing in oak before bottling, so there's no need for additional cellaring.

It's ready to enjoy now, with its rich toasted nut flavours and smooth, mature character already beautifully developed.

Unlike traditional table wines, aged Tawny generally doesn't benefit from extended bottle ageing. Once opened, keep the bottle well sealed and refrigerated to maintain its freshness.
