Description
Seppelt Para Liqueur Aged Tawny Port 126 (1x750mL),SA, Cork Closure Originating from the name of the Barossa Valley’s main river, ‘Para’ has remained resolute within Australian wine culture for over 11 decades. Featuring on numerous fortified releases over the course of time, it has crossed three ownership eras; B Seppelt & Sons, Treasury Wine Estates and modern day Seppeltsfield, with Tawny bottlings featuring the insignia being traced back to the beginning of the 20th century.It remains today Australia’s longest standing wine label in continual production.Over 400 release variants featuring the ‘Para’ brand have been discovered as part of archival research undertaken by Seppeltsfield.First trademarked in 1923, the existence of ‘Para’ has now been traced back even earlier, with releases in Australian circulation between 1902-1918. These earliest of releases during the era of B Seppelt & Sons included ‘old’, ‘medicinal’, ‘Barossa’, ‘family’, ‘red’ and ‘white’ Para labellings. These first incarnations of Para were followed by ‘royal purple’, ‘purple’, ‘imperial reserve’ and ‘invalid’ bottlings 1920-1940.Perhaps the most notable, the 100 Year Old Para Vintage Tawny, was first released in 1978 (from the 1878 vintage), however bottlings of ‘Para Liqueur’ – recognisable by its iconic bell-shaped bottle – first emerged in 1953. The first vintage released – labelled as 1922 – was in celebration of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The 1922 release was followed by 1925, 1927, 1930, 1933, 1939, 1944 & 1947. The vintage date on these first Para Liqueur releases however related to the oldest component of the Tawny blend, meaning that the wine was not singularly from the year depicted on the label. In the mid-1970s, due to a change of labelling legislation, these Para Liqueur bottlings evolved to known as the ‘Number Series’, 26 released in total, 101 – 126. (289451-12)

Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.
We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.
★ ★ ★ ★
Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.
★ ★ ★
Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.
A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.
Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.
Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
