Description

Seppeltsfield has long been internationally renowned for its treasure trove of fortifieds highlighted by the Centennial Collection – the world’s only unbroken lineage of single vintage Tawny dating back to 1878, spanning 148 consecutive
vintages. The Centennial Cellar was built in 1878 by Oscar ‘Benno’ Seppelt. In a gesture both unique and inspirational, Benno selected a puncheon of his finest wine and gave instructions that it was not to be bottled for 100 years. The
Centennial Cellar is a living museum of Australian winemaking history and undoubtedly is the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the Seppeltsfield Estate. The 1925 100 Year Old Para Vintage Tawny is the 48th consecutive release from the Centennial Cellar. Our 100 Year Old Para Vintage Tawny was the inaugural wine to be inducted into James Halliday’s Hall Of Fame.

The very finest parcels of Grenache and Shiraz are selected each year from the Seppeltsfield Estate vineyards and reserved for the making of the 100 Year Old Para Vintage Tawny. The single vintage Tawny is fortified with Brandy spirit
and aged in old oak barrels in the renowned Centennial Cellar, then this is progressively transferred into smaller barrels as it continues to evaporate and build in concentration. An estimated 3% is lost each year to the ‘angel’s share’, with the wine continually concentrating in-flavour, aroma and viscosity during its maturation in barrel.

Review
You get lost in it. It’s just epic. In 1925, New York overtook London to become the largest city in the world, Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler's influence was rising, F. Scott Fitzgerald released The Great Gatsby and the Jazz Age was in full swing, and this was tucked away in barrel. That never ceases to blow my mind. It's a singularity of aroma and flavour. Dried fruits in an aqueous solution, candied nuts, mahogany, molasses, marzipan, fancy cigar lounge, espresso liquor, candied figs and prunes, wood spice and citrus rind. It's in constant movement; light filters in and out, highlighting certain characters, casting shadow on others, in an ever-moving state of change. It's kinetic and endlessly complex and there ain't nothing else like it in the world. It really is a national treasure.

The whole experience is mind-expanding, and it is incomprehensible that a drink can make every one of your senses fire up in concert like never before.

Review
Deep colour. Intense lifted ground coffee, praline, panforte aromas with smoky, liquorice, aniseed, cloves notes. Generously concentrated, dense and richly flavoured with fresh espresso, dark chocolate, orange rind, sandalwood cloves notes, fine supple textures, superb mid-palate volume/ viscosity and a persistent pure aniseed cut. Finishes smoky and long with apricot, panforte notes. A wonderful expression of Australian wine history and ambition. A living curio to share.

nose

Incredible intensity, dark chocolate and brown spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon and cardamom.

palate

Immediately luscious! Incredible volume and mouthfeel, lingering flavours of bittersweet dark chocolate and hazelnuts. Freshness and length driven by blood orange acidity.
