This cool-climate region provides fruit with natural acidity and fine tannin structure, giving balance to the wine’s generous sweetness. Frogmore Creek has refined the art of fortification with this long-matured Ruby style, capturing the intensity of Pinot Noir through slow development in seasoned oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"1005\"\u003eEach small batch begins with hand-harvested fruit given a 48-hour cold soak before open-vat fermentation, hand-plunged for gentle extraction. Once the desired sugar and flavour levels are reached, fermentation is arrested with premium brandy spirit, locking in the wine’s ripe fruit character. The fortified wine then matures in a solera system spanning a decade, layering complexity and consistency from one vintage to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1338\"\u003eThe result is a dark, silken fortified that opens with aromas of berry conserve, orange peel and spice. The palate is full yet poised, unfolding flavours of black fruit, toffee, and roasted nuts lifted by fresh acidity. A Tasmanian interpretation of a classic style and crafted with precision, patience, and respect for fruit purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"776\" data-end=\"907\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"792\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"796\" data-end=\"799\"\u003e – Dark fruit and citrus\u003cbr data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"825\"\u003e Candied citrus peel, blackberry and dark cherry with hints of spice and caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"909\" data-end=\"1041\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"918\"\u003e – Generous and balanced\u003cbr data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"944\"\u003e Blackberry, toffee and roasted cashew flavours framed by velvet tannins and a lively acid lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1151\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1049\" data-end=\"1052\"\u003e – Lingering and lifted\u003cbr data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1077\"\u003e Sweet fruit, nut and cocoa notes carried by freshness and gentle warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1153\" data-end=\"1376\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003e Style – Fortified Dessert Wine\u003cbr data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1580\"\u003e Varietal – Pinot Noir\u003cbr data-start=\"1601\" data-end=\"1604\"\u003e Country – Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"1623\" data-end=\"1626\"\u003e Region – Tasmania (Coal River Valley)\u003cbr data-start=\"1678\" data-end=\"1681\"\u003e Bottle Size – 500 ml\u003cbr data-start=\"1701\" data-end=\"1704\"\u003e ABV – 18%\u003cbr data-start=\"1713\" data-end=\"1716\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frogmore Creek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45614947532991,"sku":"FROGRUBY","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/5174\/9311\/files\/33486811-8e3e-4fce-926b-40aa84cf366b.jpg?v=1778019558","url":"https:\/\/cbdcellars.sydney\/products\/frogmore-creek-fortified-ruby-pinot-noir-nv-500ml","provider":"CBD Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
