Region
Riverina, NSW.
Appearance
Deep amber toffee in colour.
Bouquet
Rich aromas of caramel, dried fruit and nuts.
Palate
Complex palate with full, rich flavours of caramel, chocolate, raisins, cold tea and nuts. Good integration and depth of flavour from the oak aged components.
Winemaking
Base wine was fermented to 10 degrees Baumé, pressed and fortified to stop the fermentation and keep the natural sweetness. The desired tawny flavour and character was achieved by identifying and separating the best suited wines during fermentation and blending these with aged tawny port which has been stored in oak casks and vats.

"This is lightly sweet and deftly balanced to showcase its open-textured walnut, coffee, jasmine tea and spice flavors that linger on the relatively quit finish."
Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator, July 2011
