Winemaking Notes
This wine is made from our Pedro Ximenez and Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the oldest part of our vineyard. The grapes are picked as ripe as possible, pressed and fermented until the desired sugar level is reached. The wine is then fortified using neutral grape spirit and aged in our old wooden vats before being blended in a semi-solero and bottled.
Food Matching
My favorite way of drinking this wine is chilled or simply over ice as an aperitif. But it is more versatile than that going great with tangy tasty and blue cheese and desserts that are not too sweet, such as an apple strudel or pear tart.
Halliday Wine Companion: "A blend of ugni blanc and pedro ximénez, fortified, aged in seasoned oak casks. Thank goodness for producers like Jones who still take Apera fortifieds seriously, delivering some fantastic, complex beauties of wines. Deep golden hues. Lifted woody, nutty hazelnut aromas with toffee and sweet spices. Rich in texture with a light sweetness, it flows ever so smoothly, filling the palate with flavours of dried fruits, apricot, gingerbread and cardamom spice. A rancio nuttiness prevails, building through to the long finish. Served chilled. Jeni Port 92 Points" Jan 2025
