This Tawny shows how good Australians are at making affordable fortified wine. With dried fruit flavours and dusty all-spice, its an after dinner treat.

Christmas in a bottle, this is a superb Rutherglen liqueur muscat. The colour has a slightly olive, aged tinge, and the fabulous nose has beautifully concentrated scents of raisins, spices, plum pud, roasted almonds and Siena cake. It's seductively sweet and smooth in the mouth, with a luscious raisin and nutty aftertaste. Fortified wines were perfected in the 1700s and were popular as they were able to withstand long sea journeys. A wine becomes fortified when a neutral spirit is added during the fermentation process. There are many different types of fortified wines including Tawny, Port, Apera, Sherry, Muscat and other fortifieds. Common flavours include ginger, toasted hazelnuts, raisins, caramel and cinnamon. Fortified wine pairs well with seafood, tapas, fruit cake or enjoyed as a cocktail, aperitif or digestive.

Brown Brothers Australian Tawny is just the perfect partner to a night curled up in front of the fire as the nights get cooler. Dust off those port glasses and indulge yourself in one of the best value ports available in Australia!

The original White Port made in the Mudgee region, it is a smooth and luscious port with great overtones of nectar. You can serve this unique wine slightly chilled as an aperitif or after dinner.

Upon much deliberation, our overall masked winner revealed a style and character that provided us with a fairly clear cut insight into the modern day advances of a region etched in history and tradition. Cosme Palacio consistently produces one of our favourite Riojas that always offers incredible value for money. Produced predominantly from Tempranillo grown in cool, relatively high altitude sites, this is modern Rioja that's bright and ready to go thanks to a touch of bottle age. It's medium bodied with fine tannins and juicy in the mouth. Black fruits dominate the flavour profile with some delicate cedar and earthy notes adding complexity to a delicious example from this much loved region.

Established by Scotsman Robert Cockburn in 1815, who returned to Portugal after first visiting the country as a soldier fighting under Wellington in the Napoleonic Wars. Cockburn's vineyard holdings are some of the largest in the Douro region which gives the house valuable flexibility in selecting only the very best fruit for their ports. This Special Reserve Port is a mature off-dry style with a 'vintage character' of dried plums, walnuts and tobacco aromas and a palate that is soft and mellow with a nice, long length.

A multi-regional blend this is a luscious and sweet fortified wine. When drinking enjoy its flavours of fruit, and butterscotch with cheese or dessert.

A classic Australian Muscat, matured in oak for 5 years featuring a rich and luscious raisined palate with a silky smooth finish.

This multiple award winning classic tawny port starts off lusciously sweet and then dries off beautifully to a clean, persistent finish. Well worth a try from the masters of fortified wine in Australia.
