The ultimate indulgence in the wickedly black, lusciously toothsome style of adults only Barossa fortified. It's all Pedro Ximenez, through and through, picked at the peak of sugar ripeness and spread out on slotted crates under the sun for a highly risque term of three weeks. The intensely parched grapes are like little treasure chests of extravagantly complex flavours, fermented to 17% alcohol, fortified with Grant Burge brandy and sent to a selection of small, well seasoned oak barrels for ten long years. Satiate but be warned, you can't untaste Black Apera PX, once countenanced, you will become obsessed.

$2999each $359DOZEN EACH DOZEN Shiraz is harvested in stages over the course of a fortnight, providing varying levels of sweetness and complexity for the finished wine. Grapes are vinified in open top fermenters and treated to a regimen of pumpovers twice daily. Several days after harvest, a portion of the free run juices are drained and fortified to arrest ferments and retain some natural sweetness. A combination of estate made brandy spirits, up to twenty years of age, are called upon to fortify the wine, achieving added complexity. Components are matured in well seasoned oak hogsheads for eighteen months, whereupon only the very best barrels are selected to be included in the final assemblage and bottling of this extra fine liqueur Shiraz.

Deep purple black colour. Enticing aromas of xmas cake and dark spiced berries, chocolates, perfume, marzipan and plum. These superb pure fruit flavours continue on the palate, luscious and rich, full bodied and intense. Essences of rancio and sweet tobacco leaf, marmalade and dried apricot, harmonious with moderate sweetness, balanced alcohol and velvety mouthfeel, a lingering finish completes a remarkable wine.

The Commandaria region is on the island of Cyprus, where Controlled Appellation of Origin vineyards grow the peculiar Mavro and Xynisteri grapes. The dessert wine to be fashioned from these unique varietals is endowed with a bouquet and palate reminiscent of honey. The poet Hesiod/em< described the process of sun drying grapes to make this style of wine in 735 BC. When the Knights Templar built Kolossi castle in 1191 AD, they grew a palate for Commandaria and ordered quantities to be exported all over Europe.

$3999each $479DOZEN EACH DOZEN Following harvest, grapes are spread out and exposed to the sun, which concentrates the flavours and heightens natural sugar profiles. Fruit is pressed, vinified and aged in large, well seasoned wooden barrels. In ancient times, tradition tells us that Commandaria was called mother and was matured in giant earthenware jars. Treated to a system of rackings similar to the Solero system, a portion is always left in the bottom of the vessel, to assist in the ageing of the next batch. It is entirely possible that the Commandaria you drink today contains a component you may be sharing with the poet Homer, the Pharaohs of Egypt or Kings of the Middle Ages. Alcohol 15.0%

A deeply coloured wine. Alluring fragrances of apricot and honey, peaches and vanilla, praline and toast. A rich malty palate with brown sugar/ caramel characters through a light texture. Rancio and citrus fruits, sweet exotic spice with cherry, the savouryness of black pudding and tang of dried citrus peel before a long, everlasting finish.
