Winery notes (NV)
"With a rich history & highly regarded reputation, the Galway Pipe name is synonymous with premium Australian fortified wine. Our 25 YO is an exceptional step-up with unparalleled structure & depth, making use of highly limited parcels of aged tawny, some parcels exceeding 25 years old. Only 1,000 cases produced each year.
Fermented and aged in oak for an average of 25 years this wine is a deep tawny colour. It has a layered aroma of raisins, grilled nuts and fruit cake. The palate is defined by rich and intricate complexity with pronounced flavours of caramelised toffee, dried fruit and vanillin oak, finishing with immense length and intensity
“The Galway 25 YO Rare Tawny project has been in the making over many years, drawing on our expansive selection of rare batches and barrels. Since 2012, the program in our barrel rooms have aimed to preserve our best older components, further aging liquid for many years to provide us with tawny with further complexity or richness. Giving our customers a the best quality product we can produce.” Chief Winemaker Chris Dix
DWWA Judges' Comments (NV)
"High tone toffee, roasted nuts, praline, cigar box, new leather, it's all happening here! Long and compelling with a tingling orange oil twist to cut through."
