Tastes like: Cherry and chocolate pie! It’s fresh and vibrant with lots of blackberry, plum, cloves and spice.
Goes with: Anything that has a lovely mix of nuts, spice and sweet stewed fruit like cherry pie or pecan pie. It’s also great with a savoury cheese and nut platter.
Average age: the Rutherglen range is the youngest blend with an average age of 2-4 years.
Cellaring: We’ve done the hard work in the winery by ageing in old fortified barrels. Once bottled, no further ageing will occur, so we recommend you enjoy within a year or two of purchase. It’s freshest within the first few weeks of opening the bottle and won’t “go off”.
