Chapel Hill The Devil Tawny 10YO 750ml

Description

Chapel Hill The Devil Tawny is an Australian fortified wine from McLaren Vale, South Australia. It’s an age‑worthy tawny‑style blend predominantly made from Shiraz and Grenache, with a small amount of Muscat for aromatic complexity. It spends extended time maturing in oak, which gives it depth and nuanced aged characters.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep tawny/amber hue typical of old aged fortified wines.

• Aroma / Nose: Rich and expressive with roasted almonds, marzipan and rancio characters developed from prolonged oak ageing.

• Palate: Luscious and complex with flavours of boiled fruit cake, aged spices and aged dried fruits, balanced by nuanced oak‑derived toast and nutty complexity.

• Finish: Long, decadent, and lingering — showcasing both fruit intensity and mature oxidative notes.

This is a wine‑rich style meant for sipping slowly, often enjoyed with dessert or strong cheese.
