Vino Volta Intimations of Immortality Liqueur Verdelho

Not only is this one of the great wines of the Swan Valley, it is one of the great wines of Australia. Liqueur verdelho has found a home in the valley many years ago, and this example is absolutely stunning - a perfect example of the fortified style that the warm climes of Western Australia do so well. The aroma is bursting with that typical raisiny fruit character, but then there are other notes of candied orange, marmalade and creamy coffee mocha. The palate is so rich and luscious with layered complexity, it's sweet fruit in the middle, but it's balanced so perfectly with that fine drying alcohol influence. This is a superb example of one of the state's great wine styles.
