Anvers
2021 Yacca Cottage - Fortified Shiraz
Amount:Single (500ml)
Quantity:
The Anvers Vintage Fortified Shiraz uses grapes from our award winning estate vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. These grapes are picked then fermented for 3 days before undergoing fortification with brandy spirit to retain residual sweetness. The wine is then aged in old French barriques for 12 months until a harmonious balance of sugar, alcohol, acidity and tannin is achieved.
Made in the same style as the long-lived Vintage Port wines of Portugal, the Anvers Fortified Shiraz Vintage 2021 has an extensive life ahead. Whilst this wine can be consumed now by the hedonistic, it is only after cellaring for 10-15 years that the true potential of this Fortified Shiraz can be experienced.

A dark inky red colour with alluring perfumed accents to the aroma underpinned by ripe blackberry and exotic anise notes. Richly textured on the palate, sweet but not cloying with powerful blackberry fruit flavours along with some anise and pepper. The long finish provides a hint of brandy spirit warmth with a refreshing sweetness and layers of rich, soft tannins that will allow the wine to age gracefully for a decade or more.
