Swagman's Tawny

A range of fortified and dessert wines.

Fortified Wine

Tawny

Swagmen were farm workers who walked from job to job in Australia during the 1800's. They carried their belongings in a bundle called a 'swag'. This fortified Shiraz has been especially blended for the 'new generation' of swagmen - the travelling Australians.

A shiraz which has been fortified with cognac to give it Christmas pudding, caramel and fruit flavours.

Drink once open but will cellar well for many many years.

Best enjoyed by an open fire with a platter of cheeses, nuts and dried fruit, or with christmas pudding.

The Verandah Restaurant Matched Dish:

Hunter Valley cheddar with fig, date and walnut roulade and quince shot.
