Hellburner (375ml)
Fortified wines have a huge aromatic lift, the Hellburner being no exception with lashings of dark fruit and a very appropriate lift of shot firecrackers. The palate is vibrant and vivacious with generous sweetness framed by robust tannins and a fresh finish.
Named for the notorious fire ships Drake unleashed in darkness upon an unsuspecting Spanish Armada that led to the dispersion, defeat and ultimate destruction of the “Great and Most Fortunate Navy”.
