The Seppeltsfield Para Grand Tawny NV (200ml) is a compact format of one of the Barossa Valley’s most recognised fortified wines, produced using Seppeltsfield’s long-established tawny winemaking tradition. Crafted from carefully matured parcels of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre, the wine spends extensive time aging in seasoned oak through a modified solera system, developing the layered nutty and oxidative complexity that defines classic Australian tawny styles.
The nose is rich and expressive, showing aromas of toasted almonds, praline, vanilla nougat and orange peel alongside hints of espresso, dried fruit and fine brandy spirit. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture balanced by savoury freshness and oak-aged complexity. Flavours of caramel, roasted nuts, toffee and dried fig carry through the palate, while the finish remains long, warming and persistent with subtle spice and saline balance. The smaller 200ml format makes it ideal for gifting, individual enjoyment or pairing alongside dessert courses without committing to a full bottle.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this 200ml Para Grand Tawny is an excellent choice for customers wanting to explore classic Barossa fortified wine in a convenient smaller format. Particularly well suited to hard cheeses, roasted nuts, sticky date pudding or dark chocolate desserts. Best served lightly chilled or at cool room temperature to highlight its layered nutty complexity and smooth texture. Drinking beautifully now and will continue to hold its character well after opening when stored correctly.
