The 2025 Seppeltsfield 21 Year Old Para Tawny is a remarkable single-vintage fortified wine from the Barossa, released after 21 years of maturation in seasoned oak. The 21 Year Old Para is drawn from barrels originally destined for Seppeltsfield’s renowned 100 Year Old program, giving it exceptional concentration and mature rancio complexity.
On the palate, it is rich and deeply layered, with roasted nuts, dried fruit, candied citrus, toffee and Christmas-cake spice balanced by freshness and fine brandy spirit. Extended oxidative maturation creates the complex nutty, savoury and caramelised characters that define the Para style, while maintaining impressive length and balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who enjoy mature Australian fortified wines with intense concentration, nutty complexity and exceptional length. Serve slightly chilled and enjoy slowly after dinner. Ideal with aged cheddar, blue cheese, fruit cake, sticky date pudding or dark chocolate desserts.
