The red grape colours have precipitated away over time, leaving a true ‘tawny’ colour after two decades in barrel. A powerful and complex nose full of nuts, toffee, intense spice and fresh rancio characters reflect its age and complexity. On the palate, toffee, mocha, coffee and intense nuttiness all combine to create rich luscious flavours. The finish is long with lingering flavours of a fine very old fortified.

Ripe berry, smoky plum, cherry and dark chocolate show on the palate with a long sweet fruit finish.

The aroma opens with black cherry and ripe plum, then a savoury layer of dried thyme, cocoa and a hint of smoke. On the palate the fruit arrives sweet and rounded, with darker berry flavours filling the middle before a twist of star anise and something faintly earthy comes through on the back half.

Ripe hand picked fruit, gentle winemaking and maturation in French oak have resulted in a complex and powerful wine, with aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries and Black Doris plums, a rich and silky smooth palate with fine grainy tannins to match the fruit. Excellent value, drinking fantastically well now and will develop and cellar for several years.

A unique Blanc de Noir was made from 100% Pinot noir grapes.

Soft and subtle palate of red fruits and fine grained tannins with aromas of blackberries, plums and spice with good focus and length.

Blondie opens with white peach, nashi pear and a squeeze of pink grapefruit, with a faint red-fruit echo underneath that hints at where the grapes came from. The palate carries citrus blossom and something like almond skin, and there is a subtle savoury edge that keeps the fruit from turning sweet or simple.
