Yalumba first began making wines at its Angaston winery 170 years ago, and the production of fortified wine has long been part of that history. By the early 1900s, Yalumba was supplying the world with these wines— from the connoisseurs of London’s gentlemen’s clubs to the British Raj in India. In fact, on Christmas Day 1929 a bottle of Yalumba Four Crown “Port” even found its way onto the table of Sir Douglas Mawson’s Antarctic Expedition. Following a 50-year-old tradition the very best barrels from each vintage continue to be selected and tucked away in the museum cellar, and it is from these time capsules the fortified collection is blended each year.

“Fortified wines allow us to create veritable time capsules in a glass. They reflect the quality of our fruit, the strength of our combined endeavor in the vineyard and the cellar, as well as our mastery of an age-old winemaking world. They salute our tenacity, resilience and entrepreneurial spark throughout five generations of family winemaking. Through gold rushes and world wars, revolutions and depressions, financial crashes and digital transformations there has been one constant in Australian wine—Yalumba’s fortified collection.” —Jane Ferrari, Yalumba Storyteller

Coal River Valley, TASMANIA tolpuddlevineyard.com
JUMP TO VIDEO
Tolpuddle Vineyard in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley was planted in 1988. The climate is cool and dry—ideal conditions to grow Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of exceptional quality. It was purchased in 2011 by Michael Hill Smith MW and Martin Shaw, who believe it is one of Australia’s great single vineyards. The wines show great vineyard character, with a core of intense natural acidity, savory fruit flavors and lots of complexity even when young. The Chardonnay is fine and precise with firm acidity, and a combination of lightness of texture and intensity of flavor. There was no 2019 Pinot Noir produced.
Chardonnay 2019 Fermentation 100% malolactic Alc. 13.0% | pH 3.21 | Acid 7.4 g/L | RRP $64.99 Aging 9 mos. in French oak barrels with gentle stirring as required, and then rested in tank on lees

Sam Neill started Two Paddocks in 1993 with modest ambitions to produce a good Pinot Noir that would be enjoyed by family and friends. Although production is still limited, Sam now owns vineyards in all four major subregions of Central Otago (Bannockburn, Gibbston Valley, and the Cromwell and Alexandra Basins). The estate Pinot Noir is a barrel selection of the older estate vineyard blocks that consistently produce some of the very best fruit. In years when the crew believe that the vineyards have produced an extraordinary expression of site, a small single vineyard offering is released: The First Paddock and The Fusilier.
The First Paddock Pinot Noir 2018 Fermentation 50% whole bunch, indigenous yeast ferment Alc. 13.5% | pH 3.62 | Acid 6.0 g/L | RRP $79.99 Aging 14 mos. in 30% new French oak, 70% matured/neutral French oak
The Fusilier Pinot Noir 2018 Fermentation 5 day cold soak followed by 65% whole bunch, indigenous yeast ferment Alc. 13.0% | pH 3.62 | Acid 5.8 g/L | RRP $79.99 Aging 11 mos. in 30% new French oak, 70% 1 and 2-year old barrels

Klein Constantia Winery
SOUTH AFRICA Klein Constantia
Constantia, SOUTH AFRICA kleinconstantia.com
JUMP TO VIDEO
Described as one of the world’s most beautiful vineyards, Klein Constantia is set amidst ancient trees and lush greenery on the upper foothills of the Constantiaberg, with superb views across the Constantia Valley and False Bay. The 360-acre (146-hectare) estate originally formed part of Constantia, a vast property established in 1685 by Simon van der Stel, the first governor of the Cape. This particular valley was chosen not only for its beauty, but also for the decomposed granite soils on its slopes, gently cooled by ocean breezes. Klein Constantia’s lusciously sweet wine, Vin de Constance, rose to prominence in the 1800s. It was savored by the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte, Queen Victoria, and Thomas Jefferson. Today, Klein Constantia continues to make some of South Africa’s top wines and world-class dessert wines, which reflect the cool Constantia climate and historic traditions.
Vin De Constance 2016 Alc. 14.0% | pH 3.7 | RS 164.8 g/L Acid 6.5 g/L | RRP $120.00 Aging Matured in a combination of 50% new French oak, Hungarian oak and French acacia; left for a period of 3 years on the lees, and a further 6 months in tank before bottling

“The wine is rich and dense on the palate, expanding and unfolding, showing layers of depth and breadth across the mid-palate. It’s perfectly sweet with the precision and balance…”
