Digby Rare Old Fortified is Pirramimma's long-running McLaren Vale tawny, a blend of Grenache and Shiraz named for Digby Johnston, the winemaker who laid down its base wines in the 1960s. The wine is fortified with brandy spirit, matured in small oak barriques and kept going through a solera: each year the best new tawny is added and the older blends are drawn down in sequence, so the colour stays vibrant while the aged characters build.
James Halliday scored it 93 points and found toffee, raisins, grilled walnuts and green olive, with a rich, sweet palate that stays fresh through the finish. It took Gold and Best Fortified in Show at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2020.
Serve it lightly chilled in a small glass after dinner, with blue cheese, dark chocolate or a plate of nuts and dried fruit. Ralph's imports Pirramimma directly and delivers across Metro Manila.
