Galway 25 YO Rare Tawny
TASTING NOTES
With a rich history & highly regarded reputation, the Galway Pipe name is synonymous with premium Australian fortified wine. Our 25 YO is an exceptional step-up with unparalleled structure & depth, making use of highly limited parcels of aged tawny, some parcels exceeding 25 years old. Only 1,000 cases produced each year.
Fermented and aged in oak for an average of 25 years this wine is a deep tawny colour. It has a layered aroma of raisins, grilled nuts and fruit cake. The palate is defined by rich and intricate complexity with pronounced flavours of caramelised toffee, dried fruit and vanillin oak, finishing with immense length and intensity
“The Galway 25 YO Rare Tawny project has been in the making over many years, drawing on our expansive selection of rare batches and barrels. Since 2012, the program in our barrel rooms have aimed to preserve our best older components, further aging liquid for many years to provide us with tawny with further complexity or richness. Giving our customers a the best quality product we can produce.” Chief Winemaker Chris Dix
The decorative label pattern is a tribute to Sir Henry Galway’s military dress uniform, symbolising his legacy of high standards for superior quality.
AWARDS
THE REAL REVIEW
96/100 “Light to medium mahogany colour with an olive-green tint at the rim. Dark toffee, caramel walnuts and cola aromas. Richly-textured and deeply-intense across the palate. The concentration of dried fruits is unstoppable in its drive to the finish. All the while, a nutty rancio character brings balance and interest. Goes deep and long to the finish. A seriously impressive tawny” – 01 FEB 2022

Giving our customers a the best quality product we can produce.
Galway Pipe has always been brand in Australia synonymous with quality fortified wine. Our 12 YO Grand Tawny has been a celebrated far and wide for its consistency of quality. This new addition of our 25 YO is part of our pursuit to bring the highest quality tawny we can supply to our customers, a product that is an experience in itself.
Australia’s temperate climate, mirroring aspects of Spain and Portugal, gives us exceptional growing conditions to utilise old world varieties like Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Palomino.
By ensuring our fruit is adequately ripened and possessing complex, rich flavours, we are able to produce phenomenal wine here in Australia. From a wine making perspective, blending is the most important aspect of our hard work. Not only what we select from our barrel inventory, but what is excluded and that is part of our key to producing a quality wine.
