Meet Patronus - a luxuriously decadent and intense Barossa Shiraz made the old-fashioned way. Intense lifted spicy characters drape across the gently baked plum, and raspberry compote aromas, with gentle wafts of cedar and smoked game.

Small parcels of the best quality fruit from the Barossa were chosen for this Reserve Shiraz – and it shows! It’s big, rich and mouthcoating...a ‘black red’ with some serious heft. Take that as a warning! The wine is named after a type of cattle (Hereford/ Shorthorn cross) bred for the harsh conditions of Australia’s far north, and has been crafted with steak in mind.

“Fortified” is an alternative name for a “Port” style wine. Woodstock Old Fortified has an average age of about 13 years.

He aged them in old Brandy barrels for future generations. Today, his son Scott Collett, continues the fortified tradition at Woodstock with this fine example of an Australian style ‘Tawny Port’.

Rich dark purple with a crimson hue in colour. Intense dark fruit aromas of plum, and forest berries with hints of spice and vanilla. Rich and smooth with lashes of dense sweet fruit and soft tannins.
