Wine Description
The Story
Seppeltsfield’s founder, Joseph Seppelt and his eldest son, Benno, both possessed an incredibly long-term vision and outlook for Seppeltsfield, working tirelessly to ensure a legacy was passed on to future generations. This is manifest in Benno Seppelt’s inception of the Centennial Cellar, a remarkable system of laying down and maturing single barrels of vintage Tawny for significant ageing before release. It is believed to be the world's only unbroken lineage of single vintage wines spanning more than 130 consecutive vintages. This amazing resource allows Seppeltsfield to offer the release of wines at the 30, 40, 50,60,70,80 and 90 year anniversaries to mark a special birthday or milestone.
As a limited-edition gift, each vintage from the Seppeltsfield Centennial Collection is certified for authenticity with an individual bottle number and gift certificate.
Each year is hand bottled and exquisitely presented in a Jarrah timber gift box, with many vintages available in both a 100ml and 375ml size.
As an added touch, Seppeltsfield can customise your bottle with a personalised certificate of authenticity. Add your or a recipient’s name - or special message - to the certificate that is enclosed within the Jarrah gift box itself.
