Quady Winery, Starboard' Batch 88, 6x75cl

🍷 Quady Winery, ‘Starboard’ Batch 88
USA | California | Fortified Red Wine
Style: Lush, Spiced & Vintage-Inspired

🌌 A California twist on a Portuguese classic—bold, smooth, and decadently spiced.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep garnet with brick hues at the rim, showing its maturity and richness.

👃 On the Nose:
Inviting aromas of dried figs, black cherry, nutmeg, and cedar leap from the glass, underpinned by sweet tobacco and toasted almonds.

👅 On the Palate:
Velvety and full-bodied, this fortified red bursts with flavours of stewed plums, dates, mocha, and clove. A supple texture with warming spirit integration leads into a long, harmonious finish with hints of cocoa and spice.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with blue cheese, flourless chocolate cake, spiced nuts, or even hearty stews. A natural after-dinner sipper.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Already showing complexity but will age gracefully for another 5–10 years in bottle.

🌟 Why You’ll Love It:
Crafted in the style of a classic vintage port but with California character, 'Starboard' Batch 88 is a soulful, small-batch wine that wraps rich fruit, spice, and structure into one unforgettable pour. A must for lovers of sweet reds and bold, contemplative wines.
