WINEMAKING NOTES 
Sourced from 100% Swan Valley fruit, these wines have been crafted from a Solera dating back to 1976. Each wine sits in the “Rare” classification as they are approximately 35 years average age. Blended using a Solera system to retain freshness and fruit expression of the wines. Held in seasoned casks, the key is to retain the natural vibrancy of the wine whilst aging gracefully.

TASTING NOTES
A traditional solera system from the 1970s has been used to produce this exceptional fortified wine. Made from Swan Valley shiraz, this rich and powerful tawny imparts concentrated black fruit flavors with hints of dark chocolate and coffee.

★★★★★

Gained top points from Matthews, who thought it: “A different spin on chenin blanc with new oak vanilla bean notes on the nose. Surprisingly, works quite well on the palate. Glossy green apple, baked pastries and crème fraiche. Nice line and
length, with seamless acidity.” I loved its apple/stone fruit combination, apple-skin texture and length.

Score - 95

★★★★

Appealed to me with its positive, gooseberry and feijoa aromas. The palate’s round, with flavours turning more to stonefruits. It finishes with subtle sweetness and good ength. Honan noted, “A subtle lick of volatile acidity on the inhale. Saline sweetness on the palate, lemon and passionfruit. Moreishness. Great carry, compels another sip.
