Brown Brothers Golden Cream Sherry

Victoria, AUSTRALIA

$10. 99
Bottle
$131.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Notes sourced from Brown Brothers.

Gordo Blanco plays an important part in the production of this type of sherry and so it is with this wine, where we see fermentation halted at the required level of sweetness by the addition of natural grape spirit. The grapes are harvested at their peak of ripeness to achieve this level of flavour. Blending through a wood solera usually follows to develop a more developed and constant style.This attractive sweet sherry displays a brilliant old gold colour and has rich bouquet of developed fruit and fine spirit. On the palate there is excellent harmony between the intensity of the sweet fruit and the residual sweetness of the wine.At bottling this wine had a Baumé of 6.9, an acid level of 3.3 gr/L, a pH of 4.02 and an alcohol of 18.0%.As well as an aperitif wine, it is enjoyable as an after dinner drink or as a night cap. Serve at room temperature or chilled, according to taste. This wine is a particularly good partner for the hearty soups served in winter such as ox-tail or minestrone. It is also equally good after dinner with a platter of dried fruits, nuts and fruit cake with coffee.

Campbells Merchant Prince Rare Rutherglen Muscat (375ml)

Rutherglen, Victoria, AUSTRALIA

$135. 00
Bottle
$1620.00 Dozen

ABV: 18%

Closure: Stelvin

Several years ago, a voluntary classification of Rutherglen Muscats and Tokays was implemented. Each wine is classified in ascending order of quality with the average age stipulations for each descriptor graded as follows: for 'Rutherglen', two to five years old; for 'Classic', five to 12 years old; for 'Grand', 12 to 20 years old, and for 'Rare', 20 years or more. Naturally, there's an enormous difference in the concentration and complexity of wines distinguished by these grades - not to mention price. When compared with first growth Sauternes or a Pedro Ximenez Sherry of similar age, purchasing a bottle or two of these amazing fortifieds will seem less like blatant hedonism and more like carefully considered insurance against the chance of an extended winter.
Other Reviews...
The Rare cuvee is pure nectar. My favorite of this quartet is the virtually perfect non-vintage Rare Muscat Merchant Prince. Its dark amber color is accompanied by an extraordinary perfume of toffee, caramels, prunes, and raisins with hints of maple syrup and soy. Although its viscosity is reminiscent of motor oil, the wine is not cloyingly sweet because of good underlying acidity as well as surprising tannin that frames this enormously endowed, sweet elixir. This stunning offering is one of Australia’s treasures. Justifiably renowned for their tremendous dessert wines, Campbell’s four cuvees all performed impressively well, making one wonder if the price difference between the regular and rare offerings is really worth it. Certainly there is a bit more complexity and intensity to the Rare Tokay and Rare Muscat, which emerge from a solera system averaging 60 years of age. In any event, the tasting notes for all four wines are nearly identical to any of the great Australian fortifieds, such as Buller, Chambers Rosewood, etc

Wine Advocate #148 (Aug 2003) Robert Parker

The oldest base wine is more than 70 years old. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience (or more, if possible!) that displays the fortified winemaker's great art so beautifully, with enviable refinement and elegance. It is both luscious and multi-faceted in flavours. The house style brings deep pockets of the most delicious spice to enliven plum pudding, burnt fig, salted caramel, nougat with a chocolate-covered almond nuttiness. Infinite charm. 375ml.

Jeni Port - James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion

Fleshy, voluptuous and complex, displaying a peacock's tail of flavor, with layers of peanut, almond, walnut, coffee, prune, dried cherry, spice and toasted marshmallow. Dark amber in color, this is complex and wonderful, with exquisite balance, richness, depth and length, finishing on a note of amazing finesse and delicacy for such a sweet, complex wine. Demands another sip.

Chalmers 1528 Chocolate Port

New South Wales, AUSTRALIA

$16. 99
Bottle
$203.88 Dozen

Closure: Stelvin

The history of cocoa and chocolate is well known to date back to the Aztecs of South America. The ‘plumed serpent’ is said to have bought it back from the ‘Lost Paradise.’ By consuming it one attained universal knowledge and wisdom. Cocoa came into vogue in Europe as a liqueur from the sixteenth century on, often being drunk through a thick layer of cream floating on the surface. Chalmers 1528 Chocolate Port commemorates the year in which chocolate was supposedly first bought to Europe from the Americas. Chocolate and Port are a compatible and often romantic combination. With this product from Chalmers, full flavoured, oak matured tawny port is blended with dark chocolate. An experience unto itself in the world of wine with no need to make dessert!

Tasting Note: Pale amber with tawny overtones and a pale olive tinge. The nose reveals generous raisins with dark chocolate end notes with well integrated oak adding character. Rich, warming raisin fruit characters emerge on the palate followed by a subtle oak and dark chocolate finish.

Rutherglen, Victoria, AUSTRALIA

$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 18%

Closure: Cork

Notes sourced from Chambers.

Muscat and Muscadelle (Tokay) are as original to Australia as kangaroos. Nowhere else in the world are the grapes treated this way, and the Chambers' family have been making wines in Rutherglen since 1858.

As there is no irrigation the vines, some 90 years old, produce low tonnages with wonderful concentrated flavour. This sweet wine is full of complex fruit flavours and once opened, does not deteriorate and will allow months of sipping pleasure. Serve as an aperitif or after dinner drink.

Notes sourced from Chambers.

This small, family operated winery was established in North Eastern Victoria, by William Chambers in 1858, and is now operated by fifth generation winemaker Bill Chambers.
The non-irrigated vines, many of which are over 80 years old, produce low yields with wonderful concentrated flavours. The Rutherglen Tokay is a young wine with the nut and fruit flavour beginning to develop. It is sweet and rich and ideal to sip after a meal or with sticky date pudding.

The Muscadelle (Tokay) exhibits a light amber color along with sweet molasses, honey, tea, and marmalade characteristics.

$49. 99
Bottle
$599.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Noon's V.P. is a single vintage wine, bottled after 18 months maturation in barrel and suited to further bottle ageing. Fruit is sourced from estate grown bush-vine Grenache planted in1934 with average yields around 1.5 tons/acre.
Drew Noon comments, "Many of our V.P. customers like to cellar this wine and at 10 years old it is rich and smooth. However we do not discourage our more enthusiastic (typically younger) consumers from drinking their V.P. early as it is also delicious as a young wine. Being made from 100% old vine Grenache this wine does not have the firmer tannins often found in young fortifieds produced from Shiraz, Cabernet or some of the traditional Portuguese port grape varieties.".
Notes from the winemaker...Last tasted: April 2007 as part of a V.P. vertical line up in preparation for this website. This wine is still in its primary stage. It has a complex and attractive nose showing a lot of rich, dark fruits. The palate is focused and pure, showing sweet fruits balanced by a near perfect marriage of acid, tannin and brandy spirit. Very good length of flavour. Simply, a good young V.P. with plenty of potential for bottle ageing. Optimum drinking time: 2010 to 2020

Notes from the winemaker: Last tasted: April 2007 as part of a V.P. vertical line up. Impressive colour – very deep (much deeper than the 2001) and still holding a purple hue. A terrific nose rises from the glass of blackberries and red currants along with some floral notes (violets) and licorice. Smells complex and inviting. It is a powerful and youthful wine packed with sweet fruit and is reminiscent of a younger version of the 1998. An outstanding V.P. Optimum drinking time: 2010 to 2022 (try it with almond biscotti).

Muscat a Petit Grains is one of 200 Muscat varieties, but is the only grape used to make the formidable Rutherglen Muscats. This 20 year old Muscat from Pertaringa would meet the strict guidelines to be labelled Rare had it been produced in Rutherglen, and would have a price tag to reflect its great age.

A Magnificent Fortified Wine.
This wine has been matured over many years by Geoff Hardy and Ian Leask. Deep sienna brown colour with olive green hue, clearly showing its age. Superb nose of rancio, followed by raisin and spice with toffee end notes. Warm spiritous end note. The palate delivers everything that the nose suggests – rancio flavours, toffee and caramel over a background of warm brandy spirit. Perfect balance. Very long aftertaste of rancio, honey and raisins. A superb drink.

$3540.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork

The winemaking philosophy of the house of Seppelt is clearly evident in their outstanding collection of Tawny wines, though in particular, the Para Port, named after the Para river that flows through the centre of the Barossa Valley. The 1947 release was produced from Grenache, Shiraz & Mataro grapes. To add complexity, a small addition of very old Tawny Port was married to the wine, after which it was transferred to 2000 litre casks and left to mature for approximately 18 years.
Seppelt Para Port has become an Australian legend, instantly recognisable in its unique bottle, with a distinctive style highlighting rich fruit flavours and complexity. Very rare. 738ml bottle.

Seppelt Fortified Wine price drop!

Consumption of fortified wines has been steadily falling for years, although according to industry statistics there was a small growth early in 2003 and in part this must be attributed to the re-release of the re-packaged Seppelt fortified range. The bean counters at Southcorp (Seppelt’s parent company) finally realized that the packaging costs of tall, trendy half bottles was more than that of full bottles. So now gone are the 375ml “Terrain series” bottles and in come the traditional 750ml Portugese Vintage Port bottles.
The quality has not diminished, but what’s more, the price still remains the same as for the 375ml. bottles! It’s no wonder that wine lovers are suddenly re-discovering these very classy wines.

An outstanding aged Muscat. Very deep onion brown and deep sienna colour with olive green hue. Superb nose with aged spirit lift over layers of raisins, dried figs, honey and toffee. The palate flavours are concentrated with luscious mouthfeel and creamy texture. Intense flavours of honey, raisins and spice fill the mouth over a layer of raisin cake and marmalade. Outstanding length and concentration. Exceptionally long honey and marmalade aftertaste.

There is no other fortified winemaker in the world able to match the range and sheer quality of the Seppeltsfield portfolio laid down in 1874 (and nourished each year thereafter), headed by the sublime 100 Year Old Para Vintage Tawny. If this '99 wine were to remain in barrel for another 80 years it would bear resemblance to the 100 Year Old. This perfumed wine has wonderful texture and structure, a mesmerising array of perfumed shortbread, Christmas cake, raisins, butterscotch, intensely rich and sweet until the edge of rancio simultaneously makes it even more complex, yet cleanses the finish.

Winery Notes.
Seppeltsfield Wines are the proud custodians of the priceless collection of fortified wines spans more than 150 years of winemaking excellence. This heritage includes a range of fortified wines that is Australia's most diverse and unsurpassed in reputation for quality. In 1866, plans to build a new stone cellar were started by Joseph Seppelt, the founder of Seppeltsfield. In 1878 the stone cellar was completed by Benno Seppelt. To celebrate, in a gesture both unique and inspirational, Benno selected a puncheon of his finest wine and gave instructions that it was not to be bottled for 100 years. This became a magnificent tradition and Seppeltsfield Wines is now the only winery in the world to have significant stocks of wine laid down in consecutive vintages over 100 years. Over the generations, the 100 year old Para Vintage Tawny has retained remarkable consistency of style and character. A full bodied tawny style, awesome in its power and concentration, every drop holds the promise of an exquisite life enriching experience. Produced from Mataro, Shiraz & Grenache grapes, the wine was aged in 500 litre casks (puncheon) for 100 years in the 1878 cellar. Dense impenetrable olive brown colour with distinctive green edge. The nose displays an initial lift of alcohol followed by burnt toffee, raisin fruit cake and vanilla aromas. Very powerful aged characters tend to dominate the fruit and combine with an obvious sweet vanillin oak lift. The palate is sweet and viscous showing burnt toffee, raisin fruit and dark chocolate. There is a strong influence of wood aged characters that outshines the fruit. The finish has remarkable intensity enhanced by acidity and alcohol giving considerable flavour length. An extremely complex wine showing a greater influence of wood aged complexity than many other vintages. A very fresh and vibrant wine. (Allow 2 weeks for delivery)

This is an outstanding 25 year old Muscat which has had only the best vintages added to the base blend. Magnificent deep toffee, orange and onion brown hues with distinct green ring. Rich, highly concentrated aroma of toffee, caramel, fine aged spirit, rancio, nut and raisins. Totally mouthfilling, viscous, full of exuberance and a rare level of lusciousness. Flavours of raisins, toffee and caramel. Outstanding length and persistence. Clean finish with exceptionally long luscious aftertaste of toffee, honey and raisins. A magnificent accompaniment for the Christmas pudding.

Other Reviews...
Full olive-brown; clear-cut rancio aligns with clean sprit and spicy / grapey fruit; excellent balalnce and structure, the tannins sbliminal, but giving another dimension to the flavour; very long, fine finish.

Warrabilla’s vintage ports are produced from 100% Durif grapes. Winemaker Andrew Sutherland Smith explains his preference for the variety in vintage port production with his typical eloquence.

“Both the 06 and 05 are very dry style (around 3 Be) massive big 100% Durif wines with mountains of colour, and huge tannin structure. I’m not a fan of the modern day Australian VP style (which is actually a poor copy of a Portuguese Ruby), using Portuguese varieties. Issue being the Portuguese get a choice of thousands of vineyards, we have a handful of vineyards planted to these varieties, and just maybe they are in the right spot. Probably not! I remember the Gayfer Durif Vintage Ports that were made at Chiltern from Durif (and the Fairfield ones at Rutherglen I played with in the 90’s). These are Australia’s answer to true Vintage style. Colour/flavour/Tannin. End of rant!”

Totally opaque inky black dark red colour with black dark red hue. The nose has a shade more intensity than the 2005 vintage with aromas of morello cherries, black cherries and liquorice emanating from the glass. Nuances of marzipan, light leather and spice follow. Rich and very concentrated with perfect spirit integration the palate delivers mouthfilling morello cherry, liquorice and black cherry flavours that fill every corner of the palate followed by some marzipan vanillin characters and light spice. Firm solidly constructed tannins are virtually overwhelmed by the richness of fruit. Very long and powerful aftertaste of morello cherry, liquorice, marzipan, vanilla and spice.

Cellar 10-15 years.

Woodstock Very Old Fortified (500ml)

Cellar: 10 - 20 Years (2016-2026)

ABV: 20%

Closure: Screw Cap

Woodstock’s Very Old Fortified is a genuine “rare,” tawny style fortified, skillfully blended from 70% Grenache and 30% Shiraz. Each varietal is matured separately in 100 to 300 litre oak casks for 20 years or more (currently holding an average age of 23 years in the final blend). 4-5% of the product is lost to evaporation from each barrel each year. Compared with “Rare” Rutherglen fortifieds now selling in excess of $60, this is an amazing bargain for top quality, decades old, tawny material.

Translucent, deep sienna brown colour with onion brown tones over a green olive hue. Raisin, rancio top note, followed by toffee, caramel, prune and nut. On the palate, the raisin flavours are very pronounced, with raisin layers over a very spicy back palate. Clean finish. Very long aftertaste of honey, toffee, caramel and spice.

Yalumba 50 Year Old Museum Release Tawny Port (375ml)

$150. 00
Bottle
$1800.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Tasted: 6/4/2001: This is a very rare wine with only 20 cases available. Made shortly after the end of World War II, the wine is a historical treasure and drinking the wine is a journey back in time. Made from Shiraz, Grenache, Dolcetto Mourvedre and Muscadelle grapes. The colour of the wine reveals its age immediately, with its translucent caramel and green olive hues. The nose is magnificent with very intense aromas of marmalade, raisins, fine old brandy and powerful rancio character. Wonderful, wonderful sniffing! The palate is an explosion of flavours dominated by caramel and toffee over a very powerful rancio background, intermeshed with flavours of old brandy and marmalade. Incredible depth and intensity. Clean spirit finish followed by exceptionally long aftertaste. A superb experience. (375ml bottle)

Robert Parker Review:
Yalumba is a fabulous source of antique fortifieds that often sell for a song. The non-vintage Museum 50 Year Old Antique Tawny is spectacular. Readers who love the smell and taste of maple syrup, melted caramel, toffee, and pruny, berry fruit will adore this fragrant, medium amber-colored, full-bodied, unctuous, fortified treasure. None of these Australian fortifieds improve in the bottle, but they rarely change and can be kept for a long time. Once opened, they should be consumed within 4-7 days.
