Seppelt Para Liqueur Port No. 116 Old Liqueur Port 750ml

No. 1 Original Presentation Box, minor label damage No. 2 No box Product Description First released in 1953, the wine commonly known as ‘Para Port’ is based on Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, matured in seasoned oak barrels for around 28 years. The first releases of 'Para Port' were 1922, 1925, 1927, 1930, 1933, 1939, 1944 and 1947. The vintage date, however, refers to the oldest component of the blend, which conflicted with the then-new labelling standards. A series of ‘catch-up’ bottlings numbered 101-126 followed and these eventually made way for the release in 2004 of the first 100% single vintage wine (1976), the Single Vintage Para Port. Wine Maker: Seppeltsfield Winery Varietal(s): Grenache (Grenache), Syrah & Mourvedre (Monastrell) Style: Port/ tawny Size: 750ml Country: Australia State: South Australia Region: Barossa Valley Alc/Vol: 20.5% Closure Type: T-top cork Wine Sweetness: Sweet Winemaking Para Liqueur is proudly a single vintage fortified wine, matured in small oak barrels of which are subjected to warm cellaring conditions. This storage plays an important role in the style development of the wine, as the warm environment exacerbates evaporation. An estimated 3% is lost each year to the 'angels share', with the wine continually concentrating in flavour, aroma and viscosity during its maturation in barrel. Tasting Notes The Para Liqueur by Seppeltsfield features a deep rosewood color with amber highlights. Its aroma combines notes of pecan, maple syrup, and toffee. On the palate, it is full of flavor yet refined, offering a fresh finish with hints of praline, toasted nuts, and brown spices. Since its debut in 1953, this iconic wine has become a hallmark of Australian Tawny, showcasing rich concentration and complexity from extended wood aging, resulting in a smooth texture and a balance of sweetness and savory freshness.
