The Seppeltsfield 100-Year-Old Para is one of Australia's gifts to the wine world.

In 1878, Benno Seppelt made the visionary call to lay down his best barrel of fortified to be released in a hundred years. What an incredible vision to set aside something like this for future generations to enjoy.

It's the most intense thing imaginable to taste - a veritable kaleidoscope of decadent, hedonistic flavour that persists for an impossibly long amount of time.

It's the ultimate special occasion wine. The ultimate bucket list wine. One hundred year old and rated 100 points by Andrew Caillard MW, this is truly one of the great wines of the world.

"The 100 Year Old Paras have no parallel anywhere else in the world and the conjunction of 100 years of devoted stewardship (think former cellarmaster James Godfrey) and have had an outcome that can never, ever, be duplicated."
- James Halliday

100 points - "Deep colour. Superb complex roasted coffee, roasted nuts, molasses, panforte, dark chocolate aromas with lifted aniseed notes. Richly flavoured, dense and smooth tawny with intense espresso, praline, dried apricots, roasted hazelnut, marzipan, hint cigar box, golden syrup flavours, fine supple, velvety textures, superb mid-palate volume and fresh pure linear aniseed cut. A spectacular tawny of remarkable richness, depth, and freshness." - Andrew Caillard MW

100 points - "It blows my mind that when this wine was first lovingly tucked away, the world was still swaying from World War I, the first successful around-the-world flight began, Mahatma Gandhi was released from prison and Marlon Brando and Lauren Bacall were born. It's a monumental wine. A tawny of such depth and concentration that it seems reduced to an essence, a singularity of complex aromas and flavours. Liquid dried fruits, candied hazelnuts, mahogany, molasses, rich marzipan-iced fruitcake, cigar lounge, dark caramel, espresso liquor, candied figs, wood spice and citrus rind. New aromas and flavours constantly ghost in and out of frame; the light changes, you marvel at the wines warm velvet flow, its length of flavour, how you're going to get that stain out of your glassware. And then you close your eyes and let it envelop you. It's an epic wine and a national treasure." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

The Seppeltsfield Centennial Collection is believed to be the world's only unbroken lineage of single vintage wines spanning consecutive vintages. The story of the Centennial Collection began in 1878 when Benno Seppelt decided to lay down "a puncheon of my finest port to be untouched for 100 years."" The tradition of laying down a barrel of the finest wine from each vintage was continued every year following and continues to do so today. The Centennial Cellar now comprises an unbroken lineage of every vintage from the current year back to 1878.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
