Chocolate, prune compote and Bourbon vanilla rise from a warm, expressive nose, with polished wood adding depth. Rich and enveloping on the palate, it brings mature rancio character into a cocoa-toned finish that remains balanced rather than heavy. Serve lightly chilled with dark chocolate, walnut tart, blue cheese or simply as a contemplative after-dinner glass.

Deep amber with orange reflections, this mature fortified wine layers dried fruit, walnut and dried apricot over complex notes of rancio, turmeric, roasted coffee and seasoned oak. The palate is broad, harmonious and richly textured, yet a fine thread of freshness keeps it poised. Exceptionally long, it finishes with old-cognac warmth and savoury nutty depth.

Burnished copper in colour, this naturally sweet fortified wine offers dried orange, apricot and raisin with toasted nuts and warm spice. Five years of maturation bring supple depth and a gentle oxidative character, while balanced freshness keeps the richness precise. Smooth and persistent, it is equally compelling with nut tarts, mature cheese or after dinner.
