At last the true mystery of truffle has been captured in a glass. Australia’s first truffle liqueur, Mountford Truffle Liqueur, was launched at this year’s Truffle Kerfuffle in Manjimup. Australia has now become well known for producing truffles of fine quality. Truffle liqueurs are made in Italy and France but until now a truffle liqueur has not been made in Australia. Black truffles are used in making the liqueur and each uniquely numbered bottle contains its own slice of hand- selected, fresh Southern Forest Black Truffle from the 2018 truffle harvest.

Mountford Winery is in the heart of the Southern Forest truffle region. It dawned on the owners that there could be a perfect marriage of grapes and truffles. The first trial of truffle liqueur, made by winemaker Saxon Mountford, went beyond expectations and they soon realised that Mountford Truffle Liqueur was going to be a great success. The Southern Forest Region is well known for producing many unique products and this truffle liqueur is a great example of what the region can produce.
Mountford Truffle Liqueur is fabulous to add to your desserts and perfect to sip chilled or warm in front of a real fire.
