Tasting profile
A fortified Shiraz from Tintilla Estate at Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley, in the old Australian tradition where fortifying predates the country's table wines by a long way. Partially fermented Shiraz stopped with spirit, leaving sweetness, weight and considerable alcohol. Expect dried fig, raisin and dark plum over chocolate, warm spice and a nutty, spirituous finish. Sweet and full-bodied, made for the end of a meal with something rich, and durable enough that an opened bottle keeps for months rather than days.
