Following in the tradition of great Australian aged tawny ports, this luscious wine is named after Digby Johnston, who was responsible for making some of the memorable Pirramimma Ports of the 1950’s and 60’s.

This richly flavoured port is produced from a blend of fully ripened Shiraz and Grenache grapes and, after fortification with selected brandy spirit, matured in small oak barrels for many years.

The result is a port showing a rich rancio character and a smooth, satisfyingly fruity palate. For generations Pirramimma has been producing Tawny Ports of great character and flavour and the current blend is no exception.

TASTING NOTES

Digby Old Tawny Port is a fusion of ripe Shiraz and Grenache grapes. The juice obtained was fortified with brandy spirit and then aged in oak barrels for several years. This process led to the creation of a bright tawny hued wine displaying a lovely green haze. The fragrant nose is perfumed with nutty rancio and aged cashew scents, followed by subtle toffee notes. This beautiful old fortified wine offers a rich and fruity palate brimming with savoury and nutty flavours. These characters integrate with fine tannins to end in a smooth, balanced and satisfying finale. Pair it with salted roast almonds, walnut tart and crème Brulee to unveil its real fruit potential.
