Our Review
Eric and Jenny Semmler have a special interest in fortified wines. Eric made fortified wines for Hardys and worked at Brown Brothers. Jenny has worked for Strathbogie Vineyards, Pennyweight Wines and St Huberts. They have planted micro-quantities of varieties for fortified wines: palomino, durif, tempranillo, muscat à petits grains, tinta cão, shiraz, tokay and touriga nacional, and some of that fruit is used for single vareital wines with big personalities. They use minimal water application, deliberately reducing the crop levels, and are certified organic. -JAMES HALLIDAY
