2022 Vintage Fortified

Current Release Vintage Vibrant & refined - 97 Points The 2022 Vintage Fortified is the latest release from Stanton & Killeen, offering a wine of exceptional finesse and fruit-driven elegance. The cool and delayed growing season allowed for slow ripening, resulting in a wine that highlights vibrant flavours and a refined structure, distinguishing it from the more robust styles of previous warmer and drier years. Raspberry and cassis dominate, complemented by subtle notes of violets, lavender, and wood spice. The sweetness and spirit are seamlessly balanced, with gentle tannins lending structure and complexity. While delightful to enjoy in its youth for its vibrant fruit profile, this Vintage Fortified promises to evolve beautifully over time, rewarding those who choose to cellar it with added depth and richness.
