BISHOPS HOUSE
2012 Lamont’s VP
$35.00
Perfect seasonal conditions allowed for a small selection of Lamont’s back
block Shiraz to be made into this fortified style which is aged in the bottle
rather than in oak.
Inky purple/black in appearance, with liquorice, spice aniseed and coffee on
the bouquet. Sumptuous favours of intense plum and fruit cake fill the palate
up to the satisfying traditional dry finish. Maturing nicely at the moment, the
wine can be enjoyed now but will continue to develop complexity for the next
ten to fifteen years.
Alc/Vol 19.00
Drink now or cellar in the long term
’Our fortifieds have been made to sip & savour! However by grabbing your favourite
chocolate, cake, dessert or cheese these wines can be enjoyed and act as a buffer to the
“opening” of another table wine that could possibly put you in the hurt locker tomorrow!
Please enjoy.’ – Corin Kate & Fiona

2019 RS39 Navera Chenin-Blanc
A heady lift of lychee, spiced floral aromas on the bouquet lead to a
weighty medium-sweet palate of luscious cumquat and marmaladelike
fruits. As the name suggests, thirty-nine grams of residual sugar
left in the finished wine produce the perfect aromatic partner for
strong cheeses and Asian-spiced dishes.
An adventurous wine for adventurous people.

R.S.W Liqueur (Reserve Sweet Wine)
Corin made this rare liqueur from dry grown, low yielding old vine Swan Valley
Navera and Pedro Ximenez. Two barriques (small oak barrels) from the
early eighties were deliberately left to age for a further twenty-five years prior
to bottling.
The result is an immensely complex fortified wine coloured with deep amber
with golden hues with a nose of orange marzipan. The same characters are
repeated on the palate which is enhanced further with toffee and treacle
flavours. Developed, viscous and rare.

‘The ripe fruit along with the soft tannins in the shiraz works so well with so

‘Recently we served a flatbread with marinated mushrooms, gruyère, thyme

with both sweet and savoury overtones of this pinot.’

NV Navera
A classic Australian liqueur style is made from Swan Valley low-yielding
old vine, dry grown Navera (a Muscat derivative), Pedro Ximenez (PX)
and Frontignac (Brown Muscat). The components of this wine are aged
for an average of ten years before careful selection and blending.
The colour in the glass is a brilliant deep golden/amber with a slight
khaki hue. The bouquet - a lift of ripe apricots, raisins and liqueured
cumquats. The palate is rich, warm and luscious with a long lingering
finish. To surprise and delight, try it also as a cocktail with plenty of ice
and a small wedge of lime (squeeze out the juice first).
