Only one other wine made the pinnacle 100 points, the 1996 Krug Clos d’Ambonnay Champagne.
The 100 year old Seppeltsfield port has now received 3 ratings of 100/100 points, making it arguably the world’s perfect wine. Previous perfect scores have been given by James Halliday (in fact James’ only ever 100 point Australian wine) and Robert Parker (The Wine Advocate). Jancis Robinson (UK) has also joined the chorus with a perfect 20/20.
Seppeltsfield Winemaker Sue Franke, graciously accepted the accolade stating that ‘even the accountants now have a smile on their faces given that the 100 year old PARA is the only wine in the world bottled after 100 years of maturation’.
She added “I received a phone call from Kelly Slater, World Surfing champion who having just received a perfect 10, congratulated Seppeltsfield on joining the world of perfect scores”.
