$27. 99
Bottle
$335.88 Dozen

ABV: 18%

Closure: Glass Stopper

Other Reviews....
And so the journey starts in the classification system, this the first tier, a youthful style with a pale amber hue; lighter on the palate but with plenty of flavour from big fat juicy raisins, fresh brewed black tea with honey, butter scotch, lemon toffee and a floral lift. Just like chewy toffee for adults. 375ml.

Bottle
$179.88 Dozen

ABV: 18%

Closure: Screw Cap

Notes sourced from Bullers....
The Victoria Topaque (aka Tokay) is a blend of younger material, from the vineyards of the Swan Hill winegrowing region. The Tokay style is a little lighter in flavour intensity when compared with the better known fortifieds such as Muscat and Tawny. For this reason it offers an interesting alternative dessert wine to round off a fine meal.
Orange/brown colour. Sweet vanilla essence on the nose with developed fruit characters. Youthful fresh palate flavours of toffee and a juicy rich texture. Sweet clean finish. 18% Alc./Vol.

Bottle
$323.88 Dozen

ABV: 18%

Closure: Screw Cap

Notes sourced from Bullers...
Maturation in old oak casks for many years has changed this wine from bright red to the tawny hues it exhibits today. With this slow transformation in colour has come also a change in flavour to the complex, rich and satisfying characters of a mature tawny. This wine is blended from stocks of many vintages held at Bullers Rutherglen cellars. The aim of blending is to provide a balance between the ‘rancio’ characters of an old wine and the freshness of younger wines.

Deep tawny/red colour with red/orange tints. On the nose there are developed toffee/rancio characters. The palate is complex with rich spicy fruit flavours. Hints of toffee. The middle palate is redolent of ripe fruit with chocolate/liquorice notes. 18% alcohol volume.

Displaying a lighter amber hue than the Muscat, the non-vintage Tokay is more elegant, not as sweet (205 grams of residual sugar per liter), but unctuous, long, and fragrant, revealing hints of Chinese black tea, toffee, and marmalade. This cuvee is based on 20-25-year old soleras.

The sensational non-vintage Muscat possesses 230 grams per liter of residual sugar, 17% alcohol (typical for this region’s fortified cuvees), a deep amber color, good unctuosity, and a sweet bouquet of brandy macerated raisins, molasses, caramels, and toffee.

Galway Pipe 12 Year Old Grand Tawny

South Australia, AUSTRALIA

$34. 99
Bottle
$419.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Notes sourced from Southern Cross Wines.

Galway Pipe is named after Governor Sir Henry Galway, governor of South Australia from 1914 - 1920. Governor Galway was a frequent visitor to the Yalumba winery and on each visit he would conduct a tasting of the finest 'pipes' (500 litre Barrels) of port. Whichever pipe was most to his liking was inscribed with "Galway's Pipe" and the particular blend was used exclusively at Governor House.The many components of Galway Pipe have an average age of 12 years - the same average age the port has had since Galway's day. On the palate the wine has a high level of sweetness complemented by a relatively low pH and therefore a good level of fresh acidity. This results in a wine that has pronounced aged character but maintains a freshness and a long dry finish - avoiding any cloying character. Quality brandy spirit has added to the complexity on the palate and the wine has a high level of sweetness. 18.5% alcohol volume.

ABV: 17.5%

Named after the native duck found along the Murray River, this medium sweet style was originally produced by Mildara Wines in the early 1950s but ceased in 1998. Ahead of its 65th birthday, the Australian icon has been relaunched by two sherry advocates, Darren Rogers and Peter Stone.
“Our hope is that Chestnut Teal will continue to be appreciated as not only an icon of the Australian wine industry, but as a wonderful drink for any occasion,” Mr Stone said.
He adds, “It was the weapon of choice after work every night.”
The aim has been to recreate the drink in the most authentic manner possible with reports suggesting it looks and tastes identical to the original article. Expect a sweet wine with a drying finish, with flor sherry notes integrated with nutty rancio and a rounded mouthfeel. A lovely aperitif served at room temperature or slightly chilled. 17.5% Alc./Vol.

Readers can take their pick, but the difference in price might ensure that the Grandfather Tawny Liqueur is the way to go. Amazingly rich and honeyed with hints of figs, prunes, caramel, and toffee, it is a gorgeous, brilliantly made fortified wine composed of Shiraz and Mourvedre. This brilliant fortified is remarkably light on its feet given its massive richness. Thank good winemaking, great natural extract, and zesty acidity for keeping this wine fresh in spite of its huge residual sweetness and power.

Now the historic bluestone cellars are home to atradition of fortified winemaking dating back over 150 years.In 1994, to commemorate 150 years of winemaking by Penfolds, a specialblend of the finest and oldest components of Grandfather Tawny wascreated. Befitting its great age and quality, the blend was named "Great Grandfather."This multi vintage blend produced from Mourvedre, Shiraz (Syrah) & Grenache grapes, represents a selection of the very finest and oldest barrels in the Penfolds cellars. Placed into a solero system, each year a strictly limited amount is released as Great Grandfather Grand Old Liqueur Tawny.

Tasting Notes: Extremely dark mahogany brown with an intense olive green tinge. The nose is extremely intense and complex with raisinedfruit, toffee and malt aromas long since integrated with nutty aged rancio, vanillin oak and subtle spirit. The palate clearly demonstrates its great age and qualitywith incredible intensity of flavour, viscosity and length matched to elegance and finesse. The wine has a perfect harmony of rich developed fruit flavours, aged rancio complexity and a slightly drying spirit finish.

Seppeltsfield is a national treasure for its fortified wines and every time I drive past my eyes light up at the sight of the old gravity-fed winery and the memory of the smell in the fortified cellar fills my wee noggin. I love the place. A tawny with 21 years under its belt in front of us here. Medium-tawny in the glass with the usual head-spinningly complex array of aromas and flavours that make us flip our lids for this stuff. Candied citrus fruits, fruitcake spices, mahogany, brandy snaps, Christmas cake, toffee, rancio, roast and candied nuts and layer upon layer of spice and comforting whiffs of warm, woody tones and leather. Viscous, unctuous and wildly complex, the transposition of aroma to flavour completes and then starts multiplying, reaching a crescendo before slowly fading at a glacial pace with an amazing length of flavour and sense of freshness. Wonderful. Drink 2023 - 2053.

Dave Brookes - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
If anything in the fortified realm nudges perfection, this is it. Typical aromas of molasses, orange verbena, roasted walnut husk, tamarind, clove and the medley of everything available (and not) in the Moroccan souk. Yet what makes this wine is the balance between decadent sugar levels and the undercarriage of savoriness, manifesting as bright acidity and chewy, unctuous, moreish rails. You know you are drinking something akin to liquid diabetes, but you want the next glass! Drink or hold, as this is indestructible.

21 years in barrel. Fortified with some brandy. I remember 2002 as being a long cool vintage in the Barossa. Atypical, you might say.
Salted toffee, orange peel, plenty of XMAS spice and an almost seaweed/rancio character. It’s viscous and warming, roasted nuts, sticky toffee pudding and burnt sugar, orange liqueur, plenty of length, and a distinctly salty/spicy/nutty finish of fine length.

This shows notes of hazelnuts and almonds with dried fruit, spices and toffee caramel on offer. Dry, with a nutty sherry-like character, polished texture and same saline notes to it. Lengthy and characterful. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The NV DP233 Dry Apera leads with an attractive nose of quince, orange peel, white pepper, sultana, fig and lashings of aniseed and smoked almonds. The wine is dry but luscious, with an oily mouthfeel and layers of savory spice. It's really good. It makes me want some sardines on toast with fancy salted butter. 20% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Has a distinctive yellow-gold colour, different to that of all other Rutherglen topaques; a classic array of cold tea leaf aromas joining with caramel, shortbread biscuit and toffee flavours; it is somehow brighter and crisper than most other Rutherglen topaques, yet does not sacrifice complexity. 500ml.

Cellar: Drink now (2016)

ABV: 18.5%

Closure: Stelvin

After 20 plus years in the making Warrabilla have finally been able produce a Grand Muscat, the fortified that Rutherglen is famous for. Together with his assistant winemaker, daughter Amy, Andrew Sutherland Smith has crafted an outstanding Grand Muscat that is a fitting tribute to his family heritage. With an average age of 18 years, the only bad news is that production is tiny with only 200 bottles scheduled to be released each year.

Very deep sienna brown colour with a distinctive olive green hue. Heady aromatics of honeyed raisins, Christmas cake and rancio characters overlay hints of marmalade, toffee and marzipan with perfectly integrated spirit. Magnificently rich and concentrated with a viscous textural feel akin to motor oil the palate is layered with luscious Christmas cake, honey, dried raisins, marmalade infusions, rancio characters and marzipan. The wine is fortifed on skins which extracts a bit more tannin and tends to dry out the finish so it doesn’t end with a cloying sweetness. Excellent integration of spirit with a long powerful conclusion of honeyed raisins, Christmas cake, marmalade, marzipan and subtle nutty rancio characters. Very limited stocks.

Yalumba Antique Muscat (375ml)

$24. 99
Bottle
$299.88 Dozen

ABV: 18%

Closure: Cork

A while ago, the astute folks at Yalumba realised that Rutherglen produced Australia's best Muscats. Barrels of old Muscat were purchased, further aged and blended. This lost gem has been on the market but off the radar since 2001 when the price was set at $20. Grab a bargain before the price goes up. Deep sienna brown colour, with green olive edges. Wonderful aroma of honey, raisins and fine old brandy. Rich luscious palate. Flavours of raisins, honey and marmalade superbly married to very fine brandy spirit. Clean finish, with exceptionally long aftertaste. (375ml bottle).

Other Reviews...
The non-vintage Museum Reserve Muscat is exotic, full-bodied, rich, and sweet. It spent 7 years in wood, and was bottled from a solera system. This amber-hued, rich, unctuously-textured effort boasts luscious aromas and flavors of marmalade, figs, chocolate, melted caramel, toffee, and prunes. Once again, Australia proves this country is hard to beat when it comes to their fortified after-dinner wines, which still sell for a song.

First tasted, May 2001:
Yet another exceptional fortified wine from Yalumba. The base wine is over 40 years old, the finished wine has an average age of 15 years. Deep sienna brown colour, with distinct green olive edges, showing its great age. The nose is a touch restrained at first, but yields subtle aromas of caramel, prune and honey, with a strong rancio character over a very fine brandy background. The palate is rich and luscious with very distinct nutty rancio flavours. Excellent length, with very dry finish and long lingering aftertaste of honey and caramel.A wonderful experience, at a very modest price. (375ml bottle).
RATING: 92/100

Other Reviews...
The medium amber-hued non-vintage Museum Reserve Antique Tawny, which has had more than 15 years of oak aging, is a sensational fortified that could easily be confused with a high quality, 20- to 25-year-old Tawny Port. Delicious notes of prunes, sweet raisins, over-ripe strawberries, and caramel soar from the glass of this incredibly intense wine.

Devotees of Fino Sherry have entered into a mass conspiracy ofsilence. Hardly a word is spoken and only occasionally a pressannouncement is made that another gold, silver or bronze medalhas been accumulated. Its packaging belongs to the 1950's - butno one is objecting. This is the Sherry bargain of Australia andlet's hope it remains so. The Fino Sherry is matured in smalloak casks using the solera system. Bright pale straw colour. Thenose is very pronounced with strong nutty flor charactersfilling the nose right into the temple. On the palate the floryeast character is dominant over strong nutty flavours -mouthfilling - very warming yet bone dry. Sensational length offlavour and concentration with clean dry finish and profoundlylong lingering nutty aftertaste. Extraordinary value for money.And you thought Auntie Jean was just a sweet old lady - wrong,Auntie Jean has been the custodian of an Australian treasure fora long time, that's why she smiles a lot!\Z

Closure: Cork

It's finally back, after an absence from the market place for about two years. The story goes that a winemaker left a vat valve open over a weekend and emptied the reserve of the fino into the drains! The present whereabouts of this genius are not known, but given a similar problem at Pipers Brook, earlier this year, he may be working in Tasmania!Made from the Classic sherry varietals, Pedro Ximinez and Palomino. This wine displays pale straw colour and looks very fresh indeed. Great Finos should be freshly bottled! Superb lifted flor yeast nose with some nutty background notes. The palate has delightful intensity and concentration of flavour. The nutty flor yeast flavour has just a hint of saltiness which is carried through to a bone dry finish and very long yeasty aftertaste. A superb aperitif!

$179.4 Dozen

Minimum 12 bottles

Closure: Cork

This is Angoves companion to the superb fino dry flor, however, it lacks the concentration and persistence of the fino. Made from fully ripened white grapes whose identity remains unknown. For all of its deep sienna, onion brown colour and olive rim, the wine remains unconvincing. Why you might ask? The colour reflects age and green edges only come with considerable age. Also it's the nose that suggests that this is a wine made by a process called jero paga, rather than one left in oak casks and matured by a solera sherry process. Why do we say this? On the nose there is a burnt caramel aroma, hints of toffee and burnt sugar, and not enough intensity. Old wines aged naturally have an unmistakable intensity which only time can bestow. On the palate it is again, the caramel that dominates the flavour with a hint of rancio and some brown sugar in the background. Soft, warm finish, smooth and clean. Enjoy with raisin cake!
