Seppelts para port
It may surprise some of you to know that one of the
world’s most expensive Ports comes not from
Portugal but from Australia. I recently came across
the Seppeltfield web site
http://www.seppeltsfield.com.au/ Seppelts Port was
sold off by Seppelts (Fosters Group) in 2007 and
today trades under the Seppeltsfield name, the long
standing name of the winery. As well as 750ml
bottles Seppelts make a range of 350ml and 100ml
bottles, which they sell in a presentation box. Most
years are available back to 1882 – at a price! A
100ml 1882 miniature will set you back A$2150.
The photos are all of 100ml bottles.
The 1912 is
A$500 and the
1985 is A$400
Above is Seppelts Para Tawny Anthology
Set 1915, 1925, 1935, 1945, 1955, 1965 –
price not disclosed. On the right is
Seppelts WWI set (1914-15-16-17-18) A$5000 per set, a limited edition of 100
