Barbadillo, established in 1821 and still family-owned are one of the most important wineries in the Jerez region in south-western Spain. With substantial properties in the 'Jerez Triangle'. The lovely sweet and concentrated Eva Cream Sherry is a pure delight to the sense. Lusciously sweet without being too heavy on the palate, the Eva is perfect for matching with light desserts.

Kalleske JMK Vintage fortified has been made in honour of John Malcolm Kalleske who has hand tended the vineyard where the fruit for this fabulous VP is sourced from for over 50 years. Kalleske's first attempt at a vintage fortified has seen it excel beyond belief. A very 'serious' style fortified without any of the candied sweetness sometimes evident in Australian 'ports', but a lip-smacking sweet/savoury blend that is at home more in Portugal than in the Barossa Valley. Outstanding.

The Inocente Fino by Valdespino is fermented naturally for one year in very old oak barrels, then fortified and introduced to the first criadera of the Inocente solera. The wine then undergoes biological aging under veil of flor for over ten years. The result is an elegant, highly aromatic sherry with a pronounced nose of almond, yeast and dried herbs. The dry, balanced palate offers delicate notes of green olive, iodine and sea salt which linger through the firm, clean finish.

One of the true great quality Sherry's available at Dan Murphy's. Rich, nutty flavours with a flash of walnut. Soft and delicate on the finish, a great example of a dry, but concentrated Oloroso.

Quinta do Noval is the go to Port house for those who prefer VP in a more elegant guise. 1995 was a terrific year at Noval and now almost 20 years old, it is a beautifully balanced and supple wine with a lush, plump texture and smooth, round tannins. Intense flavours of plums, raisins and dark chocolate abound with a hint of secondary development now peaking through.

Graham's Late Bottled Vintage Port is a superb expression of Graham's house style with impressive, concentrated fruit flavours, spicy complexity and depth balanced by excellent balance and structure. The finish is long and velvety.

Fresh and dry, average of five to eight years. Doesn't exhibit all the typical Flor characteristics, but carries great length, and quite a refreshing finish.

Once called Tokay, this luscious fortified Muscadelle has all the hallmarks of rich toffee and butterscotch with a balance on the palate that is synonymous with Rutherglen fortifieds.

Treated exactly like a Vintage Port with only noble grape varieties from the Quinta, trodden by foot and unfiltered. The difference is that it is aged for four years in wooden vats instead of the two years typical of Vintage Ports. Fine structured tannins, great freshness and purity of fruit. It's lushly textured with vibrant notes of cherries and blackcurrant and comes with a delicious figgy richness. Darkly potent, beautifully balanced with great acidity and a lingering, chocolaty finish.

Deliciously sweet but not cloying it finishes clean with great length. A delightful cream Sherry that needs to be tried by every enthusiast.
