Blue Tongue Tawny Port
A perfect blend of Grenache and Shiraz - you will love our Tawny Port!
Created using fruit from our St Clare Vineyard, our Blue Tongue Tawny Port is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Shiraz. After maturing with an aged spirit for 5 years in a combination of French and American oak hogsheads, this wine is smooth and luscious. With a palate reminiscent of Grandmas Christmas pudding it has flavours of raisins, sultanas and toffee with a hint of vanilla.
We have named our Port after the Pygmy Blue Tongue Lizard which is native to the Clare Valley region and was thought to be extinct until recently when some of the species were found near Mintaro. We are proud sponsors of the Pygmy Blue Tongue Lizard at the Adelaide Zoo.
