Awards, Reviews and other Notes

90 pts Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar Sept, 2011
Bright red with an amber rim. Candied raspberry, plum jam, redcurrant and roasted nuts on the nose, plus a kick of peppery spice. Densely packed and sweet, with spicy flavors of strawberry preserves, cherry and rose enlivened by tangy acidity. Finishes quite ripe and sweet, with velvety texture and a spicy nuance.

92 pts, Robert Parker, Jr.'s, The Wine Advocate "These blends represent the newest bottled offerings from this Rutherglen producer, an area that produces spectacular fortifieds, especially the Muscats and Tokays (actually Muscadelle). Their freshness, good acidity, soaring aromatics, and unctuous flavors must be tasted to be believed. The real values are the less expensive cuvees generally produced from 5- to 6-year-old solera systems...The Victoria Tawny exhibits a medium garnet color in addition to sweet, unctuous strawberry and cherry fruit. It is a blend of four grapes, Carina, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, and Shiraz."

Winemaker Notes

Winemaker: Richard Buller
Our family has been making port style wines for over three quarters of a century. The accumulated knowledge and experience gained over that time have contributed to making the Victoria Tawny. Richard Buller has blended together wines from his extensive stocks to produce a fine young Tawny. Ideal for after dinner. Excellent value for money.
Cellaring Recommendations: Ready for immediate consumption.
