Cockburn's celebrated their 195th birthday in 2010, a testament to the longevity and prestige of this iconic Port producer. Their Quinta Vintage Port is made from grapes not only from a single harvest, but from an individual estate or

A hand-selected parcel of 10-year-old South Australian Tawny has been finished in first fill, small format ex-Bourbon barrels for 6 months resulting in this expressive example from the house of Galway Pipe. The small format Bourbon barrel ageing has a profound influence amplifying the premium tawny's character with exotic bourbon notes of charred wood, rye, and toasted malt. With complex flavours on the palate such as caramel, vanilla, fruitcake, and an abundance of sweet spice entwining harmoniously with the tawny's essence to create a perfect union.

Although there is more sweetness here—the 10 year old carries 90.4 g/L—the wines remain fresh and lively, with bright, clean acidity (6.0 g/l). Bual can be served both with rich meat-based dishes, or with fruity and nutty deserts, where the wine’s dried-fruit and barley sugar flavours pair particularly well. Also try with cheese, crème caramel, Portuguese custard tarts or tarte tartin.

Mr Pickwick's Particular Tawny is a mellow and well rounded wine, matured in small oak casks to enrich the bouquet and flavour - this wine has a rich deep colour and palate. Perfect when paired with some flavoursome cheese or simply on its own to finish off a great meal.

One of the truly great wineries from the southern Spanish region of Montilla-Moriles. Established in 1922, Toro Albalá is now in the expert hands of Antonio Sánchez who hand crafts this extraordinary dessert wine from the lucious Pedro Ximenez grape variety. A concentrated nose of crème de cacao and licqorice greets you while the palate is a beguiling mixture of sweet and bitter flavours with a dense concentration and length that seems to live forever.

Rockford needs no introduction, although most of the plaudits go to their red wines. This tawny is a fitting tribute to founder Robert O’Callaghan’s restored 1897 Paddle Steamer Marion; with the very old base wine being refreshed each year with small casks as they reach maturity. The result is packed with gentle dark fruit and dried/caramelized fruit notes and lots of baking spice complexity. You can happily leave an open bottle in a dark place to sip over the course of a few months, though we find it tends to disappear pretty quickly. The dark horse of the Rockford range.
