'the Forger' Tawny
2026 Port & Tawny, Broke Fordwich, New South Wales
A rich and complex tawny inspired by the extraordinary story of Francis Greenway - convict, forger, architect and one of Australia's most unlikely visionaries.
Description
The Forger is a wine that rewards patience.
Crafted from a selection of mature red wines and aged over many years in oak, this luscious tawny offers layers of richness, complexity and warmth. Notes of raisins, dried fig, toffee and dark chocolate unfold across a powerful yet beautifully balanced palate, finishing long and lingering.
Designed for slow sipping and good conversation, ‘the forger’ is equally at home beside a roaring fire, after a long meal or shared among friends as the evening draws on.
