This classic Tawny has been made from Shiraz & Touriga grapes grown in Rutherglen. A luscious nose of dark chocolate, nuts and raisins carry through to a palate that has great depth, complexity and length.
Port Jackson Tawny is a wine ideal with food especially with cheese, dried fruit, nuts, dark chocolate & Christmas pudding.
Following extensive ageing of the grapes on the vines, the grapes were hand picked, crushed, de-stemmed and transferred to open fermenters. The grapes then fermented for only a short time, before it was stopped by the addition of spirit (fortification), up to a strength of about 18% alcohol. Doing so retained most of the natural sugars, which give this style of wine great sweetness, as well as strength and body from the fortifying spirit. Very long term ageing in old puncheons then followed, before ongoing bottling as the wine ages.
