Tasting Galway Pipe represents a treat for the palate, whether you are an enthusiastic connoisseur or just beginning to experience the wonders of fortified wine. To this day, the barrels which carry and mature the batches of Galway Pipe play an important part in the winemaking process. Coopered from tightly grained select oaks, they are integral to the soothing and satisfying personna of the finished port. Whilst the final composition of Galway Pipe varies somewhat, it is normally blended from several batches of red varieties, including Shiraz and Tokay. The active ferments are arrested by the addition of a Yalumba made Brandy, retaining a fortified level of alcohol and enhancing the extraordinarily rich fruit characters.
