Wine Description
At Pirramimma we maintain the tradition of ageing
our fortified wines through a solero barrel
maturation system. The foundation of the blend
dates back to the 1960’s when Digby Johnston,
then winemaker, made the base wines. Each year
the base wine is blended with our best tawny
outside the blend to make up our famous Digby
Rare Old Fortified. The base is then topped up with
the next oldest blend and so on. This tradition
ensures the quality is always consistent and will
improve over many years. This continual blending
also ensures the overall blend is vibrant in colour
whilst maintaining wonderful aged characters.
This richly flavoured wine was fortified with quality
brandy spirit and matured in small oak barriques.
