Winemakers Reserve Topaque ($55/L)
Introducing our Winemakers Reserve Topaque, (previously Super Deluxe blend) a pinnacle in our blending fortified wine collection. Carefully curated from a blend of rich and intricate parcels ranging from 2007 S&K Topaque and newer components, this wine exemplifies the artistry of blending.
The deep amber hue invites exploration, revealing nuanced aromas of barley sugar and butterscotch. On the palate, layers of malt, sticky toffee, and subtle butter menthol. The marriage of old and new components results in a complex and nuanced palate that lingers on with excellent length and a luxurious mouthfeel.
Whether you seek very rich flavors or desire a head start on a new barrel, this blend is a sophisticated choice.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STANDARD, PREMIUM, DELUXE AND SPECIALTY BLENDS?
Our Standard fortified is approximately 2 to 3 years old, fresh and versatile. It is a great starting point for a new barrel, or for adding a lift of bright, youthful flavour.
Premium is approximately 3 to 4 years old and offers a little more depth. It suits those who love a drink now style, or anyone wanting a head start on building a more mature blend.
Deluxe is approximately 4 to 5 years old and is the most developed option in our core range. It is ideal for brand new barrels, or for quickly adding extra age, richness, and complexity.
Our Specialty Blends are designed for customers who want to go further. They are for very established barrels, or for blends that have outgrown the Standard, Premium, and Deluxe range and need older, more distinctive material to keep evolving. These include parcels of varying ages and styles, as well as occasional single variety offerings to add interest, structure, and new life to your blend.
If you are unsure what your barrel needs, we recommend booking a blending consultation with our winemaker, either in person at the winery or online via Zoom. Please note that Zoom consultations require you to send a sample to the winemaker ahead of your appointment. You can do so here.
