Black Hamburg grapes established in 1937 on the Estate vineyard by the overhanging arbor, were traditionally made into Port base and aged to full maturity on oak and totara casks for final blending which averages 10 years old.
Today the blend is mostly Merlot, Cabernet and Malbec, aged for up to 10 years and sold in the attractive decanter bottle (750ml).
The Port is a pale tawny colour with a rich, sultana nose. The palate is raisiny, sweet, creamy and soft with a long lingering finish.
Winemakers Notes
The Port is blended from a solero of aged wines which have been aged in French oak and 50 year old totara casks, which imparts the richness the wine displays with age.
Food Match:
Perfect with strong cheeses such as Stilton and rich chocolate or fuit cakes.
Cellaring:
The Port has been aged for up to 10 years and will continue to develop in bottle for many years.
