Fortified Wine

Chateau Clos Haut-Peyraguey 1er cru classe

Few places seem to posses the divinely ordained right to produce Bordeaux’s other iconic export, Sauternes, quite like Clos Haut-Peyaguey. Across 12 hectares of plateau-topping Premier Cru Classé vineyard, Semillon (and a smidge of Sauvignon) grapes patiently wait out summer for the noble rot to set in. We’re talking about botrytis, of course. Once it does, the sweetest grapes are handpicked for vinification before being sent for a French oak siesta. The result is one of the world’s most revered sweet white wines. Unctuous and syrypy; floral and fruity; jammy and spicy: trés magnifique!

Chambers Old Vine Muscadelle

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.

Chambers Old Vine Muscat Non-Vintage

Raison, and rose petal aromas with dried fruit and a hint of wood age. Palate of rose petals, fruit cake and raisons, fresh and lively with youthful primary fruit characters evident. Well balanced palate which is clean and fresh with a drying finish. The solera has been the recipient of barrels from the Rare Muscat solera, emptied but not washed so influence coming from remaining wine in the bottom of the barrels; not as much influence imparted as in the Old Vine Muscadelle situation. Tawny colour with a slight reddish/ brown hue on the edge. Founded in 1858 by William Chambers and situated just one kilometre west of Rutherglen, on the Corowa road. The original vineyards which were replanted after phylloxera attacked the area in the late 1890's now have some irrigation, and produce low tonnages with wonderful concentrated flavour. Rosewood's fifth generation winemaker Bill Chambers OAM, handed over to son Stephen in 2001. The proud tradition of winemaking continues from the rich old fortified wines made in the early 1900s by great grandfather Will Chambers who started off the wonderful Tokay and Muscat blends which today are renowned throughout the world. The Rare Muscat and Rare Tokay consistently receive perfect, 100 out of 100 scores from the influential wine writer Robert Parker Junior of the Wine Spectator who refers to Bill as the "Master of the Fortified wine business of Australia".

Yalumba Antique Tawny Non-Vintage Non-Vintage

Sánchez Romate NPU Amontillado

Sánchez Romate NPU Amontillado show vivid amber tones, almond aromas with a touch of oak and the taste is dry, persistent and unusually delicate.

Sánchez Romate Don José Oloroso

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 Tawny 10 Years Old

The 10 year old displays lifted aromas of dried fruits and nuts. Rich and smooth on the palate with flavours of toffee and paneforte, it has elegant structure and a long, dry finish.

Quinta do Noval LBV Unfiltered

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.
