Read moreThe Rutherglen tawney ports are good but the muscats and vintage ports (VPs) can be outstanding. The VPs are in a different style to the Portugese vintage ports, being more fruit driven, sweeter and not quite as spiritous (also difficult to get the high quality of spirit that the Portugese can source). We have an annual vintage port tasting with one of my groups in the middle of Winter and it is always one of the best tastings of the year (spit buckets are the order of the day). The VPs can cellar and develop in complexity over decades. Other notable Oz makers for both VP and muscats are McWilliams, Morris, Stanton & Killeen, Chambers and All Saints. Expect to pay close to $100 for a 500mL bottle for the best of the muscats (very old material in the solera) and keep for a special occasion. Also from Rutherglen, Andersen's make an outstanding vintage sparkling shiraz, which is left on lees for years before release. The current vintage on sale at the cellar door is the 2000 vintage (from memory).    (hide)

  I agree with you that Port does not get the recognition it deserves... in Australia, Rutherglen, VIC is considered the best region for fortifieds and Seppelt being the front runner.

Read moreI agree with you that Port does not get the recognition it deserves... in Australia, Rutherglen, VIC is considered the best region for fortifieds and Seppelt being the front runner. Check this link; http://www.seppelt.com.au/wines/100year.html This is probably the oldest wine released year after year, why? This is an extract from their website and it will explain why this wine is awsome! (In 1866, plans to build a new stone cellar were started by Joseph Seppelt, the founder of Seppelt Wines. In 1878 the stone cellar was completed by Benno Seppelt. To celebrate, in a gesture both unique and inspirational, Benno selected a puncheon of his finest wine and gave instructions that it was not to be bottled for 100 years. This became a magnificent tradition and Seppelt is now the only winery in the world to have significant stocks of wine laid down in consecutive vintages over 100 years). Seppelt produces a wide range of fortifieds such as Tawny Port, Muscat, Fino, Oloroso, Amontillado, Tokay, etc.. at different price points and qualities... By the way, the varieties they used are Mataro, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Malbec; it is worth mentioning that in the last 100 yrs Australia has used mainly Shiraz and Grenache as the base for Port and other fortifieds... Also, Australia will be changing the words "Port", "Tokay", etc due to the EU regulations... but the quality is still there! Greg, I agree. Generally Ports tend to be on the sweet side and it is difficult to find good wines that are on the 'serious' side... although, if it's the right occasion and the right food match... mate, it's heaven! PS. My Seppelt favourite is the "Rare Rutherglen Muscat GR 113" http://www.seppelt.com.au/wines/tasting%20notes/fortifieds/muscats%20tokays/gr113.pdf I must apologise for not commenting some more on the "100 Year Old Para Liqueur Tawny" but $1,000 USD for a 750ml-bottle is definitely not within my budget!    (hide)
