The Grant Burge Aged Tawny is a beautifully crafted, rich fortified wine that showcases a perfect blend of complexity and smoothness. With its lovely golden tawny colour accented by red tinges, the wine is an excellent example of the finesse achieved through traditional winemaking practices. The high proportion of Grenache contributes to spicy fruit flavours, adding a fresh lift to the more complex aged characters in the background.
On the palate, the smoothness and richness are immediately apparent, with a mid-palate sweetness that is perfectly balanced by an elegant drying finish. The solera-based system ensures consistency and quality with each release, as younger wines are added to the barrels while older wine is drawn for bottling, allowing the wine to evolve and develop even further. Matured in older barriques and hogsheads, this tawny slowly gains depth and harmony without the addition of overpowering oak characters.
Award-Winning Tawny with a rich, nutty finish, the Grant Burge Aged Tawny is highly praised by experts, including Halliday Wine Companion and Bob Campbell MW, as well as being the Trophy Winner for "King of Fortifieds" at the Decanter Awards 2010. With its complex nutty flavours and rich finish, it is a perfect wine to enjoy after dinner or paired with rich desserts such as chocolate tarts or nuts.
James Halliday Wine Companion
"This is a very small brother of Grant Burge's all-conquering 20 Year Old Tawny, with lots of primary fruit; strong spirit impact."
