Talijancich Wines

We have purchased this fruit for 55 years from a vineyard planted in 1900, where my father as a 14 year old spent time pruning these vines.

When I began in 1977, my father had already set aside ten barrels of Tawny from the late 1950’s through to the 1970’s. Five decades on, this Rare Tawny is the result.

This is our finest vintages from 1978 through to 2001, blended over 30 years in old brandy casks, giving an average age of over 25 years. Each bottling represents a blend number, and is signed by the winemaker confirming the date of bottling.

Also known as Muscat of Alexandria, Gordo Muscat is regarded as an ancient vine, believed to be one of the oldest genetically unchanged grape varieties still in existence. It flourishes in warm climates, making our region the perfect home for this historic and expressive variety.

My father understood that the Swan Valley is one of the finest wine regions in the world for fortified wine, and it was with this Vintage style that he built his reputation for quality wines.

Direct from the Talijancich family cellars, this superb collection of aged fortified wines showcases three distinct wines from the renowned Julian James range.

Produced from our 1932 plantings, grown using Bio-Dynamic principles, this is a wine that is literally made by hand. We have done away with our usual old techniques and let the fruit do the talking.
