Winemaking
Only the best super ripe fruit from warm to hot growing regions is utilised. After crushing and pressing, the raw juice is inoculated with selected yeast. Once that initial ferment is underway, the wine is fortified with premium grape spirit. The wine is then transferred to old French Oak barriques for 5 to 10 years on average. Blending with minimal filtration then takes place prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes
Tawny brick red in colour. The nose displays very ripe jammy fruit characters with spicy notes and floral muscaty influences. On the palate the warm alcohol spirit is beautifully balanced with luscious sweet fruit flavours. A delicious dessert wine. Once opened, the wine will keep for a few months providing it is stoppered after each pouring. 

Assessment
An attractive liqueur style tawny port with great length and a clean finish. Recommended *** Winestate Magazine

Delicate raisin nose. A clean simple palate with good fresh flavours.
