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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: Fortified wine.

AROMA Notes of pecan, maple syrup and toffee. PALATE Generously flavoured yet stylish and balanced. A fresh, lively finish with elements of praline, toasted nuts and brown spice. STYLE Para Liqueur is one of Seppeltsfield's most recognisable wines, having graced the cellar of generations of fortified collectors. Since its first release in 1953 in its iconic bell-shaped bottle, Para Liqueur has represented all of the hallmark characters of great Australian Tawny. The supreme concentration and complexity of the Liqueur is a result of extended wood aging, giving rise to a silky texture and a delicate balance of sweetness and savoury freshness.\" - Seppeltsfield Winery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer Notes: Although the Para Liqueur has been periodically released for over 70 years, Seppeltsfield has only ever bottled the finest releases, those deserving of the esteemed Para Liqueur label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol ABV: 20.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\nSweetness: Sweet\u003cbr\u003eBlend: Grenache (Grenache), Syrah \u0026amp; Mourvedre (Monastrell)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cmslanding__text-section\"\u003eWinemaker: Fiona Donald\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cmslanding__text-section\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cmslanding__text-section\"\u003eWinemaking\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003ePara 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43330347434179,"sku":"SK74649498","price":229.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/4714\/4643\/files\/1985SeppeltParaLiqueurPort750ml.png?v=1771992605","url":"https:\/\/www.sessionsliquorstores.com.au\/products\/1985-seppelt-para-liqueur-port-750ml","provider":"SESSIONS AT ARDEN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
