A collaboration between French winemaker Gille Lapalus and Australian bartender Shaun Byrne, Maidenii combines the best of both nations. The two men have worked carefully to capture the natural flavours - which include wormwood and wine sourced from Victoria.

Cockburn's Fine Tawny Port is sourced from fruit grown in the lower Douro region that produces a lighter, more fragrant style of fortified wine. Losing a touch of its colour during maturation in oak, the tawny takes on flavours of butterscotch and a nice nuttiness. Perfect as an after-dinner dessert wine, or chilled down and served with an array of fine nuts such as almonds and walnuts.

Established by Scotsman Robert Cockburn in 1815, who returned to Portugal after first visiting the country as a soldier fighting under Wellington in the Napoleonic Wars. Cockburn's vineyard holdings are some of the largest in the Douro region which gives the house valuable flexibility in selecting only the very best fruit for their ports. This Special Reserve Port is a mature off-dry style with a 'vintage character' of dried plums, walnuts and tobacco aromas and a palate that is soft and mellow with a nice, long length.

Penfolds Father Grand Tawny pays tribute to 169 years of winemaking excellence. A blend of many outstanding tawny components separately matured in seasoned old oak casks, with a minimum blended average age of ten years. The results yields a wine of generous concentration, vitality, exceptional balance of fruit and oak age complexity. The tawny lingers in the mouth, finishing clean and tight.

Carpano Antica Formula, first created in 1786, is an authentic Italian vermouth recipe and one of the first vermouth ever made. It is made from white wine, Piedmont's muscatel and the rich wines from southern Italy. It is produced in limited quantities with expert craftsmanship. Traditionally served straight and well chilled as an aperitif or used to transform a common Manhattan cocktail or as a key ingredient in the Negroni cocktail.

Christmas in a bottle, this is a superb Rutherglen liqueur muscat. The colour has a slightly olive, aged tinge, and the fabulous nose has beautifully concentrated scents of raisins, spices, plum pud, roasted almonds and Siena cake. It's seductively sweet and smooth in the mouth, with a luscious raisin and nutty aftertaste. Fortified wines were perfected in the 1700s and were popular as they were able to withstand long sea journeys. A wine becomes fortified when a neutral spirit is added during the fermentation process. There are many different types of fortified wines including Tawny, Port, Apera, Sherry, Muscat and other fortifieds. Common flavours include ginger, toasted hazelnuts, raisins, caramel and cinnamon. Fortified wine pairs well with seafood, tapas, fruit cake or enjoyed as a cocktail, aperitif or digestive.

Australian Tokay has recently been renamed Topaque, however nothing else has changed with this old favourite. A classic mix of tea leaf and toffee on the nose, followed by a suprisingly elegant palate which is both long an delicious. - Dan Murphy's Wine Panel

Great value from one of Australia's best producers. Fresh fruit aromas with a rich luscious palate of toffee, caramel and prune. Long lingering finish.

Aged for a decade, this wine has the decadent, rich raisin palate of a fine Christmas cake. A true, barrell-aged Tawny Port, a dash of dry sherry adds complexity while the finish is long, luscious and luxurious. The perfect gift!
