2016 Vintage Fortified

Sixth-generation winemaker Chris Killeen started blending Portuguese varieties with Shiraz and Durif from the 1997 release. 2016 release is in the same style with 31% Touriga Nacional, 27% Tinta Roriz, 11% Tinto Cão, 14% Shiraz, 11% Grand Noir and 6% Durif. Aromas of blackberry, star anise and liquorice lead onto a lush, balanced palate of juicy plums and morello cherries. The finish is lingering with mouth-filling tannins and hints of milk chocolate of coffee. Enjoy young with a casserole or cheese platter, or cellar carefully for at least two decades.
