Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 28, 2024 - Tasted at Torbreck dinner. Good richness and aged complexity. This listing shows it as being Muscat, but that's not my recall. Let's see when it shows up...
From their website - The Bothie is a fortified blend of traditional grape varieties which have been used to make this style of wine in the Barossa for generations. Including Madeira Semillon, Frontignac, Palomino, Doradillo, Grenache and Shiraz, these varieties have a rich, and sometimes forgotten history of fortified winemaking in the Barossa.
Current Vintage
NV
When the vintage allows, the grapes are picked at optimum ripeness. A small amount of spirit is then added to the fermenting wine to arrest the yeast activity and raise the alcohol level. The resulting barrels are then allowed to mature over a number of years to develop a rich tawny colour and deep, concentrated flavours, until ready to be added to the Bothie blend.
Nope... Not Muscat...
