Hi Folks,
I'm after recommendation for Australian Sherries - or is that Sherrys ? Obviously Seppelt features highly, and does anyone have some other favourites ?
Cheers, Duncan
A Couple of Amontillados

If you like the Seppelts, the other icons are the Lindemans, but I notice they have dropped reference to them on their website.
The sherry I have open at the moment is Woody's Amontillado from Pennyweight winery, Beechworth. The grower and winemaker is Stephen Morris great-grandson of the founder of Morris of Rutherglen. The wine confirms the theory that skill in making fortifieds has a genetic basis. They also have a fino and an olorosso.
I don't know if the wine is widely distributed, but you can look them up on the web.
Cheers
Sherries

Morris's have a cellardoor Amontillado that is to die for!
They just bottled the Old Premium as well which isn't cheap but amazing wine.
Cheers

Thanks for the recommendations. We're visiting Beechworth in April, so will definately go to the Pennyweight winery.
Cheers, Duncan
