Barossa Valley, South Australia. This "Old Quarry Tawny" is made from the traditional Barossa tawny port varieties – Grenache and Shiraz., harvested late in the season to achieve maximum ripeness and complexity. After fortification with premium quality brandy spirit it is aged in old oak casks for an average of ten years. The bouquet displays intense raisin and nutty rancio characters which carry on to the mellow, dried fruit palate. The lingering finish is rich and full of flavour, with pleasant, well integrated tannins and brandy spirit...

Douro Valley, Portugal. Fonseca Bin nº27 was created over a century ago for family consumption, and only released commercially in 1972. It is produced primarily from wines from Fonseca’s own quintas in the Cima Corgo and thus shows an exceptional quality and consistency from year to year. Blended from reserve wines selected for their superb fruit character and depth of color, it’s well-knit structure, rich, velvety full body and luscious blackcurrant and cherry flavors, also dominant in the bouquet, finish on an intense, lingering note...
Rutherglen, Victoria. A quirky, white port style with light hazelnut and pear fruit with uplifted notes from clean spirit. Long and fresh with lovely weight on the middle palate, this wine has a complex and clean finish.
Oporto and Douro Valley, Portugal. Predominantly golden colour. Within its characteristic fruit and sweetness, floral aromas of chamomile and orange blossom stand out with hints of honey. It has a light palate with flavours of glycerine and ripe fruit surrounded by an intense freshness. A fat, persistent finish with a pleasant touch of honey...
Oporto and Douro Valley, Portugal. Its colour has hints of red found in semi-developed tawnies with an orange meniscus, a product of its ageing. It has a very dense presentation with notes of fresh fruit (cherry and blackberry). The ageing in oak provides the aromas of dried fruit and nuts (plum and walnut) as well as ethereal and balsamic aromas. The attack of fresh fruit is gradual and intense. The perfect balance between freshness and...
Oporto and Douro Valley, Portugal. Orange-red in colour with a touch of green. A well-rounded, generous aroma with balance and a hint of wine. Fruit aromas include orange, apricot and plum. Vanilla and old Port wine casks make up its woody aromas. This is a fruity tawny variety. In the mouth, one can still taste the fresh fruit surrounded by the ageing in wood. A good structure and perfect balance between fruit and alcohol. The attack on the palate is smooth and full-bodied. Following the initial oily feel, a fresh, soft fruitiness appears which finishes with a slightly acidic, woody note...
Oporto and Douro Valley, Portugal. Brick red colour with a tawny patina. Scents of fresh fruit (grapes and cherries) are enriched by the aroma of dried fruit and toast from the maturation in small wooden casks referred to as “pipes”. The wine displays a fine balance of youth and maturity. Fresh fruit flavours covering the whole gamut, ( grapes, cherries, plums, blackberries and raspberries), combine harmoniously with the spirit to create an impression of mellow lightness...
