‘Rare’ means aged for a minimum of 20 years, resulting in very concentrated and sweet wines due to evaporation in the warm cellar conditions. This slow, controlled oxidative process increases the concentration, sweetness and imparts delicious nutty, chocolate, treacle and rancio flavours. My second ‘Rare’ Rutherglen fortified wine in one day……I am reeling from the experience. This opportunity rarely comes along.. excuse the pun, and one not to be missed. Heaven in a bottle and a heavenly experience. Once you have had a sip, we know you will be back for more.

intense bouquet treacle with salted liquorice, burnt toffee, vanilla, roasted nuts, and toast.

the viscous texture and sweetness are a very special experience. A very concentrated and luscious wine with those same flavours mirrored on the palate. The concentration process in barrels intensifies the nutty, toasty, rancio and vanilla flavours on the finish, giving balance to the luscious fruit and velvety texture. You don’t need much as it is so rich, and every morsel needs to be celebrated. Heaven in a glass.
