Often, Tawny styles are carefully blended from a range of vintage years to achieve a consistent style and minimum age. The 21 Year Old Para Tawny stands alone as a single vintage wine, whereby the most select parcels of 2001 vintage wine are drawn from barrel and bottled as a special celebratory release. Its style, therefore, has the added complexity of being a reflection of the growing conditions during a singular season. Parcels have matured in old oak hogsheads. Brandy spirit has been used as the fortification element, which along with extensive oxidative ageing, gives rise to roasted nut, praline and butterscotch aromas and flavours.Parcels have matured in old oak hogsheads.
