Julian James Liqueur Shiraz 1981 Solero Blend No. 2
Julian James Liqueur Shiraz 1981 Solero Blend No. 2
Our beautiful 1980 vintage has come to an end, and the 1981 Julian James Liqueur Shiraz is a worthy successor, with Blend No. 2 now available.
We have produced this unique style of Shiraz liqueur from our Swan Valley vineyard since 1979, selling most of the wines as 5-10 year old blends. From 1980 the finest vintages were set aside for long-term maturation and blending, with the 1981 vintage as the foundation to this fine, old solero.
With an average age of 25 years, this after dinner liqueur has concentrated flavours of dark raisin, coffee bean and chocolate. A style that is a true expression of our vineyard and proudly the oldest wine released by Talijancich that is entirely estate grown and bottled.
