This, our first FORTY is made from Shiraz and Merlot grapes from North East Victoria. It is a blend of individual fortified wines dating back to the 2004 vintage, each having rested peacefully cellared in French Oak Barrels. Time and patience has seen these wines mellow, developing the richness and complexity that warm climate, extra ripe grapes impart. The luscious full bodied Shiraz combined with Merlot from the 2004 vintage require quiet contemplation as you explore the flavours. Prepare to be enticed
