New Limited Release
A delicious fortified dessert wine, vintaged from 100 year old vines.  Deep amber-brown in colour with a lifted nutty bouquet.  The palate is sweet and luscious and layered with toffee, raisin and caramel.  Maturation in old brandy casks has added complex rancio character and a rich smooth finish. Average barrel age of 12+ years.

Accolades
"Nose reminiscent of burnt toffee with a sweet but light, not cloying, palate full of delicious, toasted caramel/apple pie-like flavours with a finish that goes on and on." 97 points
Winestate Magazine June 2022

“A delicious example of this Spanish sherry variety.  Luscious with deep flavours of nuts and toffee.  It’s sweet and fortified with excellent spirit.  Has developed a lovely complex rancio character.  A beauty.  93/100.  Cellar 15 years.”
Ray Jordan, The West Australian Wine Guide

“Medium yellow-orange core. Refined PX. Fig, velvety sultanas and orange marmalade. Crisp acidity, medium body, pronounced aromas and balanced alcohol. Long, fresh finish with hints of demerara sugar.”  Silver medal.
