There are but two winemakers who can lay claim to a staggering four Jimmy Watson Trophy victories. Wolf Blass was the man behind the label. John Glaetzer was the man behind Wolf Blass. While working for Wolf, Glaetzer was moonlighting on his own brand, applying the same extravagance of technique to the pick of Langhorne Creek fruit. Perfection in the form of black bramble fruit, muscular yet affable tannins, all framed by the luxury of ebony oak. Aspirants of the great Black Blass Label fables of 1974, 1975 and 1976, are privately advised to avail themselves of John's Blend, Cabernet or Shiraz. Crafted from the same parcels, in the same way, by the same hands, that collaborated to create, the most celebrated triumphs in the history of our nation's highest accolade, thrice winners of the exalted Jimmy Watson Memorial.. Timeless mystique of langhorne creek»

Keo St John Commandaria 500ml CONFIRM VINTAGE

Mavro Xynisteri Cyprus
The Commandaria region is on the island of Cyprus, where Controlled Appellation of Origin vineyards grow the peculiar Mavro and Xynisteri grapes. The dessert wine to be fashioned from these unique varietals is endowed with a bouquet and palate reminiscent of honey. The poet Hesiod/em< described the process of sun drying grapes to make this style of wine in 735 BC. When the Knights Templar built Kolossi castle in 1191 AD, they grew a palate for Commandaria and ordered quantities to be exported all over Europe.

Following harvest, grapes are spread out and exposed to the sun, which concentrates the flavours and heightens natural sugar profiles. Fruit is pressed, vinified and aged in large, well seasoned wooden barrels. In ancient times, tradition tells us that Commandaria was called mother and was matured in giant earthenware jars. Treated to a system of rackings similar to the Solero system, a portion is always left in the bottom of the vessel, to assist in the ageing of the next batch. It is entirely possible that the Commandaria you drink today contains a component you may be sharing with the poet Homer, the Pharaohs of Egypt or Kings of the Middle Ages. Alcohol 15.0%
A deeply coloured wine. Alluring fragrances of apricot and honey, peaches and vanilla, praline and toast. A rich malty palate with brown sugar/ caramel characters through a light texture. Rancio and citrus fruits, sweet exotic spice with cherry, the savouryness of black pudding and tang of dried citrus peel before a long, everlasting finish.
