Australian Tawny (Port)

Decadently Delicious! Has a cult following around the world.

Review: A handcrafted artisan wine. Liquid Christmas Cake bursting with baked raisin flavours and aromas and subtle hints of honey and dark chocolate. The huge lift of fruit cake and mocha aromas is echoed on a luscious, lip-smacking palate that has a wonderful warmth and richness. Sold waxed and gift wrapped; it is a very popular gift idea all year around. Non vintage, blend of years 1996, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008.
