A great example of quality grapes made into port and left for many years quietly resting and developing in oak barrels without being disturbed, pumped, topped or even yelled at!
What once was called Port has now changed as the European Union ask us to respect their history . We have decided on classic tawny to suggest some time ageing in barrel of around ten years . The Shiraz was fortified and left to mature in seasoned barrels (no new oak).
This 100% McLaren Vale Shiraz shows dark chocolate caramel colour with a lifted aroma of caramelised honey and raisins.
Shiraz 86%, Grenache 14%
The palate is viscous, sweet and luscious with intense sultana, dark chocolate, vanilla bean and hints of clove. The aging of this classic tawny has resulted in a very complex wine with a lingering aftertaste.
