The N.V. Victoria Tawny is ruby/amber colored with notes of molasses and caramelized fig. The flavors brought back childhood memories of the famous Fig Newton cookie. Importer: Ken Onish and John Gorman, Southern Starz; tel. (714) 892-3030

The winery remains one of the quality leaders in the production of sweet wines from the warm terroir of Rutherglen. Moreover, the wines cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the world.

The non-vintage Victoria Tawny exhibits a medium ruby/amber color as well as plenty of strawberry and cherry fruit. Although the least distinguished of this group, it is a very good Tawny Port imitation. These Australian treasures are fabulous to drink at the end of a meal. Moreover, once opened, they will hold for several weeks, sometimes longer. Importer: Ken Onish & John Gorman, Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (714) 892-3030
