Densely coloured and richly aromatic, this delicious fortified wine has been crafted from a selection of our best Hawke's Bay grapes. Luscious raisin, black forest fruit, Christmas cake and date flavours abound, laced with spicy black pepper and chocolate notes.The palate is luxurious and silky-smooth, with beautiful balance, harmony and a satisfyingly warm long finish. Already highly enjoyable, it will continue to mature, acquiring ever-greater mellowness and complexity.
