“Light bright amber.Sexy aromas of red berry compote, gingerbread and spicecake, with a deeper note of cherry pit coming up with air. Tightly wound, powerful red fruit flavors are given a spine by tangy minerality, a hint of orange zest and peppery spices. A deeper note of molasses comes up on the long, clinging finish.”

“Candied raspberry, plum jam, redcurrant and roasted nuts on the nose, plus a kick of peppery spice. Densely packed an sweet, with spicy flavors of strawberry preserves, cherry and rose enlivened by tangy acidity. Finishes quite ripe and sweet with velvety texture and spicy nuance.”

“Medium amber.Spicy aromas of raspberry, orange zest and toffee.Tangy and sharply focused, with sweet red fruit and quince paste flavors leavened by a jolt of zesty acidity.This sweet but lively wine finishes with a good cut and refreshingly bitter note of orange pith.”

ThePortly Gentleman



“Powerfully scented bouquet displays raspberry preserves, cola, molasses, orange marmalade and brown sugar.Lush and deeply pitched in the mouth, offering concentrated pit fruit, toffee, candied fig and orange marmalade flavors and a deeper note of espresso. Clings impressively on the very long finish, which leaves notes of roasted coffee and candied red fruit behind.”

CalliopeRutherglenRare Muscat



“Plum preserves, dried cherry, orange peel, cola and molasses on the enticingly perfumed nose.Smoky, sweet and velvety, offering a wild array of sweet pit fruit, spice and floral pastille flavors. Shows firm backbone and finishes with outstanding power, depth and length. This wine’s blend of exotically sweet fruits and spices is pretty compelling.”

CalliopeRutherglenRare Tokay



“Bright red.Cherry and gingerbread aromas are complicated by floral and toffee accents.Fresh and clean in the mouth for a sweet wine, with nicely integrated acids lifting the bright red berry and cherry flavors. Shows very good intensity on the long sweet finish.”
