Ballandean Estate Wines has released Angelo’s 1987 Rare Tawny, meticulously crafted by estate patriarch Angelo Puglisi. Aged for 37 years, the fortified wine boasts a complexity and palate-staining intensity that will captivate connoisseurs and collectors alike.
Angelo’s 1987 Rare Tawny is a tribute to the generational winemaking legacy at Ballandean Estate. Described as:
“rich, slippery and ultra-dense, loaded with molasses and treacle characters, cinnamon, bitter-dark chocolate, toffee and stewed plum, with dried orange peel, raisin, and preserved cherries in tow,”
Mike Bennie of Halliday’s Wine Companion
An unparalleled tasting experience
According to estate manager Robyn Puglisi-Henderson,
“Angelo’s 1987 Rare Tawny offers an unparalleled tasting experience, embodying Dad’s lifetime building one of the oldest family-owned wineries in Queensland.
“To commemorate this release, Ballandean Estate Wines has curated a limited-edition Signature Barrel Collection. Each collection features a beautifully crafted Mongolian oak and glass barrel, signed and numbered, along with three bottles of the 1987 Rare Tawny. The current release is just 25 barrels, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Queensland wine history. These are available for purchase at $950 each.
Charity auction
“We’ve kicked off the celebration with an exclusive online charity auction, wrapping up Friday 22 November at 12pm. The auction will feature Number 01, the inaugural Aged Barrel, ready to be filled with Angelo’s distinctive 1987 Rare Tawny.”
Single bottles of Angelo’s 1987 Rare Tawny can be bought online and at the cellar door for $130.
