From fine wines to robust spirits, RIEDEL's expertise lies in tailoring the shape and design of each glass to accentuate the unique characteristics of the drink it holds.

About Seppeltsfield
Seppeltsfield was established in 1851 and is one of the most iconic wineries in Australia.
Seppeltsfield has long been internationally renowned for its treasure trove of fortifieds highlighted by the Centennial Collection – the world’s only unbroken lineage of single vintage Tawny dating back to 1878.
Today, Seppeltsfield celebrate the unveiling of one of Australia’s most significant wines, with the 1924 100 Year Old Para Vintage Tawny – seeing 100 Summers and Winters maturing in oak.
Fiona Donald, Chief Winemaker, Seppeltsfield said:
“As custodians of the Seppeltsfield Centennial Collection, we are proud of the amazing legacy and vision of Benno Oscar Seppelt, son of our founders Joseph and Johanna Seppelt, dating back to 1878.
The 1924 100 Year Old Para Vintage Tawny is the 47th consecutive release from the Centennial Cellar. The wine shows incredible intensity, volume and mouthfeel, remarkable freshness and length driven with blood orange acidity.
Finding The Perfect RIEDEL Glass
There is no doubt that a fine wine of this calibre, with a century of flavours and complexity, deserves the perfect glass to accentuate its unique characteristics. This inspired the Seppeltsfield team to embark on a journey with RIEDEL to find the perfect glass for their 1924 100 Year Old Para Vintage Tawny. Their pursuit took the form of a structured tasting of a series of RIEDEL glasses with involvement from Seppeltsfield's diverse team including winemaking, viticulture, cellar door, sales and marketing.
Mark Baulderstone, Managing Director of RIEDEL Australia and New Zealand, added:
“We are honoured to have the opportunity to work in partnership with Seppeltsfield to find the perfect glass for the 1924 100 Year Old Para Vintage Tawny.
A fantastic collaborative approach, where we landed unanimously on the RIEDEL Vinum Cognac Hennessy Glass. The finely tuned shape of this crystal glass harmonizes the aroma and taste, whilst tempering the alcohol and extract on the palate and emphasizing the bouquet. The thin tulip-shaped nature of the glass allows the wine a very small evaporation surface, to arrive on a glass with the truest clarity”.
