Grant Burge Aged Tawny 750ml

Grant Burge Aged Tawny Port NV 750ML Golden tawny with red tinges The spicy fruit flavours are a legacy of the high proportion of Grenache and add a lifted freshness to the more complex aged characters in the background The palate is smooth and rich with the midpalate sweetness balanced by an elegant drying finish This fineaged tawny is made from the Barossas traditional tawny varieties mostly Grenache with some Mataro and Shiraz and has been blended to an average age of a sixyearold wine After harvest and crushing fermentation is initiated in traditional open fermenters Fermentation is stopped at the desired sweetness by the addition of a highquality brandy spirit After pressing and clarification the wine is matured in older barriques and hogsheads allowing it to slowly develop harmony and complexity without adding obvious oak character A limited quantity of Aged Tawny is drawn for bottling each year and the barrels are topped up with selected younger wine Alc 18
