Widely regarded as one of Australia's benchmark fortified wines, the Penfolds Grandfather Rare Tawny rightfully lays claim to such a title. High quality blending stock has been lovingly matured in small oak casks, and creates a wine of immense complexity and depth.

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.

Elegant bouquet of pineapple, marmalade, touch of cinnamon & nutty vanillan oak. A luscious palate of apricots, honey & citrus flavours combines with botrytis sweetness, finishing with an alluring freshness. Ideal accompaniment to caramelised pear with marscapone cream, drizzled over seasonal fruit with ice cream, blue vein cheese, dried fruit and nuts. Fruit sourced from the Riverina, New South Wales, Australia.

A superb value wine for its rich and sweet 'muscaty' and raisin flavours with the lightness and freshness of the foundation Rutherglen style. Perfect match chocolate pastry. The colour is deep orange amber with floral aromas of crushed rose petal, lavender and orange blossom. The palate has rich raisins with subtle oak and great length.

Made from Muscadelle grapes and previously known asTokay this wine is the foundation of Stanton & Killeen Topaque range exuding lively flavours and great versatility. White gold in colour with aromas of quince jelly, cumquats and dried fruit. The palate has notes of zesty lemon peel and butter menthol which combine to reveal a very silky mouthfeel and long finish.

Penfolds Fortified Grandfather Tawny has intense nose with fruitcake, liquorice, raisin, and roasted walnuts all blending together with a seamless freshness contradicting age. A classic Penfolds palate with fruitcake, liquorice and vanillin oak flavours with a sweet full and round mid-palate, and a finish that persists on and on. With each vintage, varietal batches are selected for Grandfather. These batches are individually aged in seasoned old oak casks before being blended together at 14 years of age. This blend is then introduced into the ‘Grandfather Solera’.

De Bortoli 'Old Boys' 21 Year Old Tawny is a classic tawny from the producer of some of Australia's premier styles. An array of aromas are on display with dark raisined fruits, mocha, hints of vanilla and nutty aged barrel characters. On the palate the flavours of mocha continue with a richly concentrated texture. A supreme long length leaves you with a smooth and lingering finish.

From the grand masters in Port comes Taylor's 10 year old tawny from Portugal. It is derived from maturation in 630 litre casks and is noted for its delicate wood notes combined with gentle scented, sweet ripe red fruits. Displays lovely fresh lemon, spice, floral and caramel notes with a hint of honey. Drier than typical Aussie tawnies, but very enjoyable with power and a very long finish.

Fonseca is a port house with a long and proud history that includes the owner escaping Portugal in a wine barrel due to political allegiances. Their Late Bottled Vintage is always a wine of firm structure but with a luxurious mouth feel and lush finish.
