Barossa Valley, Australia — Shiraz, Grenache & Mataro
A rich, fortified blend that pours deep amber with ruby highlights. Aromas of roasted hazelnut, fig, and burnt caramel lead into layers of toffee, dried cherry, and molasses. The palate is unctuous yet balanced, showing warm spirit integration, subtle oak spice, and a lingering nutty finish. Tawny character builds with oxidative notes of walnut and cocoa. Serve slightly chilled with sticky toffee pudding, pecan pie, or blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort. It’s also delicious on its own after dinner or stirred into an Old-Fashioned-style cocktail with an orange twist.
