2007 Vintage Fortified
Milestone Vintage / The Last Vintage of a Legend / 18 Years in 2025
Elegant, complex & built to last.
The 2007 Vintage Fortified holds a special place in Stanton & Killeen’s story. As the final vintage made by the late Chris Killeen—revered winemaker, visionary, and “Prince of Port”—this wine reflects both his legacy and his love for traditional Portuguese varieties. Crafted from Durif, Touriga, Tinta Roriz, Shiraz, Tinto Cão, and Tinta Barroca, this is a wine that captures a pivotal moment in our history with grace and intensity.
The bouquet is lifted and fresh, with strawberry and juniper dancing on the nose. The palate is beautifully structured, with ripe raspberry and cherry flowing through the mid-palate before giving way to a finish of layered, fine tannins. It's complex yet approachable, with a lightness of touch that reveals Chris’ influence—dry, fragrant, and composed.
A wine that will continue to blossom with time in the bottle, the 2007 Vintage Fortified is more than a milestone—it’s a tribute to a man who helped shape the future of Australian fortified winemaking.
