Jen Pfeiffer Fascination Vintage Fortified 2018
About the wine
Get ready for a rare and ravishing delight
- The first thing you notice is the colour. You simply cannot see through it! Impenetrably deep, dark and brooding. Aromas and flavours of dark cherries, chocolate, plums and spice and then enticing complex spirit characters giving licorice and vanillin notes. It’s just so beautifully rich, complex and alluring.
- Just a few days ago Jen’s Fascination Vintage Fortified 2018 scooped the prestigious Chairman's Award at the Ballarat Wine Show. This trophy is awarded to the Best Wine at the discretion of the Chairman of Judges. Woohoo!
- As Jen says: “Vintage Fortifieds can easily sell for over $100 a bottle – but not this one, that wouldn’t be very Naked!”
- Perfecto with strong blue or cheddar cheeses, dark chocolate or even paired with a rich slow cooked lamb shank. And of course, it’s just so damn enjoyable just by itself.
Best before
recommend serving my Fascination Vintage Fortified between 14 and 18°C. It can be served immediately on opening. I would only suggest decanting the wine if you are going to drink it all in one night.
Serving advice
Once opened, my Vintage Fortified can be enjoyed for around 3-4 weeks, until the fruit starts flattening off. I recommend enjoying a small glass each night as a night cap until the bottle is finished!
Food match
Jen recommend serving her Fascination Vintage Fortified with someone special, or when you want to impress your guests when you are entertaining.
It is fabulous with strong cheeses such as blue or a bite-y, aged cheddar.
