Dutschke Wines NV ‘Old Codger‘ Tawny Port 200ml (12 Bottles) Barossa Valley

$150.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

My first job after completing high school was working in an old cellar in the Barossa Valley filling and stacking port barrels with an “Old Codger” (old man). Each day the two of us would finish work with a glass of port and share a few stories. What a civilised way to finish the day!

Over the years we have put together a Solera of old fortified wines. It is from this Solera that we have prepared the blend of tawny port that we call “Old Codger”.

“Old Codger Fine Old Tawny” is a blend of many fortified wines from barrels that have been collecting dust in our shed for many years. It shows great complexity and has much rancio butterscotch like flavours, a result of blending the older fortifieds with the younger fresher components. Blending using a Solera system gives consistency to the style and quality from year to year.

A wonderful combination of flavours, best consumed anytime with good friends. We trust you’ll enjoy it!

Description

Dutschke Wines is a family-owned boutique producer of classic Barossa red wines and fortifieds.

Wayne Dutschke’s philosophy is to produce the best single vineyard red and fortified wines from the St. Jakobi Vineyard in Lyndoch. This unique patch of real estate in the Southern Barossa was purchased in the 1930’s by his grandfather, Oscar Semmler and now owned by Oscar’s son and Wayne’s uncle, Ken Semmler. Wayne also blends Shiraz from his neighbour’s vineyards along the 2km stretch of Gods Hill Road for the acclaimed Dutschke GHR Neighbours Shiraz.

About Wayne Dutschke

Wayne started making wine in 1979 in Australia as well as knocking out a few vintages in Spain and California. In 1990, Wayne formed his own brand called WillowBend producing a blend of Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet. Interest from the United States in 1998 brought about a name change to Dutschke Wines as well as a few new brands – GHR Neighbours Shiraz, St. Jakobi Shiraz and the reserve wine Oscar Semmler Shiraz.

Since their first crush in 1990, Dutschke Wines has strived to make wines of the highest quality that show Wayne’s expression of the characteristics of that precious patch of dirt from a precious corner of the Barossa Valley.
