Pairing guide
This delicious, honey-sweet, golden wine from Cofield is sure to raise plenty of smiles when you bring it to your dinner party, once the main course has been cleared away. While you don’t have to pair this wine with a sweet food (in fact, we really love sweet, fortified wines with super-salty dishes like salt fish cakes), this wine is going to pair really nicely with traditional fruit pavlova, toffee, tiramisu and gingerbread. Delicious!

Wine region
Rutherglen, Australia
Rutherglen is located in the North East of Victoria, a region steeped in history and sticky fortifieds! It begins in the early 19th century, a period hallmarked by the gold rush and the nefarious Ned Kelly! It takes a special personality to pioneer a vineyard during this time. Lindsay Brown was one of the first vignerons to do it, planting vines at the Gooramadda Run site around 1851. He’s also responsible for one of the most enduring quotes of the time, saying, ‘dig gentleman dig, but no deeper than six inches, for there is more gold to be won from the top six inches than from all of the depths below.' And with vision, more and more vineyards sprouted throughout Rutherglen; it’s hard to believe only 30 years later, Rutherglen would be considered on the international stage for its luscious Tokay and heart table reds. Many wineries established at this time are still flourishing today, including and not limited to Gehrigs (1859), Chambers Rosewood (1859), Morris (1859), Campbells (1870), Stanton & Killeen (1875). Today the region is known for deep table reds made of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Durif, as well as fortified like Muscat and Tokay.
