Jubilee Vineyard Estate 2004 "The Drunken Bee" Port

Wine: "The Drunken Bee" Port - Chambourcin
Vintage: 2004
ALC/VOL: 18.5% (Approx. 12 Standard Drinks)
Background: Jubilee Vineyard Estate is a small family owned business, nestled in the pictureque Hawkesbury Valley, just over an hours drive from the centre of Sydney. Named after an original vineyard planted by the famous surgeon Dr Thomas Fiaschi, in the 1870s[sic], the vineyard was re-established and planted with Chambourcin (shom-bur-son) grapes.
As we were handpicking these luscious over ripened Chambourcin grapes in early autumn, we were surrounded by thousands of swarming bees, whom were busily sharing in the sticky sweetness of the warm grape juices, as the bunches were removed. Luckily not one picker was stung, even as they crawled drunkenly out of the buckets.
Tasting Notes: This limited release estate port is a deep ruby red colour, with hints of blackberries and mulberries, matured on new american oak.
A sweet, fruity fortified wine with a bit of "Sting". Although young, it can be enjoyed now, however, it will benefit by further cellaring of 4-5 years.
Cellar Door Price: No longer available. Sold for $30.00/bottle (750ml)
Additional Notes: BRONZE MEDAL - (15.6/20.0 point average) in the 2006 Hawkesbury District Agricultural Show, Desert Wine Section
