Don’t let the name fool you, this late bloomer is anything but past its prime! P. Jackson Cape Late-Bottled Vintage is a sweet treat for those who appreciate a richer style of wine. Named after the invasive Port Jackson tree species as a cheeky ode to traditional Portuguese Port, this fortified wine demonstrates the silky elegance of a Cape Vintage. The intense concentration comes from a blend of 39% Touriga Franca, 39% Souzao and 22% Tinta Barocca grapes that were fortified after accumulating high sugar levels in the berries during ripening. Four years of barrel ageing allowed flavours of ripe red and black berries to develop alongside a velvet-cloaked palate with hints of sweet spice. Hand-corked, waxed and labelled. Only 1200 bottles were produced of this limited release.
