Overview

Galway Pipe Grand 12 Year Old Tawny Port is a distinguished expression of heritage and craftsmanship. Inspired by the legacy of Governor Sir Henry Galway, who was a regular visitor to the winery in the early 20th century, this exceptional tawny port celebrates over a century of tradition. Galway Pipe was named in honour of Sir Henry’s discerning tastings of the finest fortified tawny, with each selected barrel earning its place as ‘Galway’s Pipe’ at Government House. This award-winning wine offers a balance of aged complexity and vibrant freshness, making it an exquisite choice for connoisseurs and a perfect gift for any occasion.

 

Tasting Notes

In the glass, Galway Pipe reveals a deep, garnet hue, inviting you into its rich aromatic profile. The nose is a captivating blend of raisins, dried pears, grilled nuts, and a touch of spicy, dusty oak, evoking the warmth and history of a well-aged port. On the palate, it strikes a harmonious balance between sweetness and freshness, with a refreshing acidity that enhances the flavour. Pronounced aged character is beautifully complemented by a long, dry finish, ensuring the wine remains elegant without becoming cloying. With its complexity and finesse, Galway Pipe Grand 12 Year Old Tawny is a sophisticated and refined treat for the senses.
