Choosing the right fortified for your barrel
Standard Barrel Blend

$17 per litre | Average age 2-3 years.

A fresh and younger blend of Shiraz and Portuguese varieties that is full of flavoursome cherry and star anise. Perfect if you want to develop these characters in your personal blend. If your port blend (one that is based on a fortified red such as Shiraz or Portuguese varieties) is many years old, and you are finding it a bit acidic, including some young Barrel Blend will add a dose of fresh fruit sweetness. Young port tends to show more primary fruit characteristics where an aged port will taste more nutty, spicy and savoury.

Premium Tawny

$20 per litre | Average age 4 - 5 years.

A mature blend of Shiraz and our famous Portuguese varieties, this Tawny is a favourite for those who love a traditional style tawny port with some age. It has rich flavours of plums and subtle oak. Use this in your blend if you are looking for a ‘drink now’ style. Our Barrel Blend and Tawny are drier in style than the White Fortified, Topaque and Muscat and will suit people who like something with a little more savouriness and balanced spice.

White Fortified

$17 per litre | Average age 4 - 5 years.

A blend of Muscadelle, Chardonnay and Viognier, this wine is light, fresh and highly versatile. It has delicate flavours of honeysuckle, bottlebrush and walnuts. It’s perfect for your barrel if you want to give your blend a floral and aromatic lift. Our White Fortified (previously called White Port) is not overly dry or overly sweet, it’s roughly in the middle making it a great ‘all-rounder’ fortified.

Standard Topaque

$17 per litre | 2-3 years old.

Previously known as Tokay before the EU naming restrictions were enforced, this wine is the foundation of the Topaque range. It is made from the Muscadelle grape variety. Aromas of quince jelly, cumquat’s and dried fruit lead to a silky palate of zesty lemon peel and caramelised butter. It is much lighter than our bottled Rutherglen range as we make it to be a base product that you can mature into your own preferred style.

Premium Topaque

$20 per litre | 3-4 years old.

The Premium Topaque is a richer and more complex style than the standard Topaque with a light amber colour, fragrant aromas of almonds and caramel and a palate of dried apricots caramelised butter. Add this to your barrel if you would like more depth and layers. It can also be blended with White Fortified.

Standard Muscat

$17 per litre | 2-3 years old.

A true Rutherglen icon, this foundation Muscat is incredibly popular for many reasons.

Rich and luscious raisin notes blend with delicate rose petal aromas and flavours to create

this special wine. As with all of our blending fortifieds, it is lighter in style than the bottled

classifications (such as the Rutherglen and Classic Muscat). Young muscats display more

aromatics, such as rose petal and Turkish Delight with fresh raisin notes, and as it ages,

will show richer tones of Christmas pudding and chocolate shavings.

careful nurturing, your Muscat blend can take on flavours and deep complexity similar to
