Winemaking Notes
The grapes are picked when they are fully ripe with some raisining. They are then destemmed and macerated at a cool temperature. When the fermentation just starts we press off the juice and fortify it with a very neutral grape spirit. It is then carefully aged and blended via a solero system.
Food Matches
It is wonderful with desserts made from caramel, toffee, chocolate and rich ice cream. Or just simply a coffee and petit fours.
Halliday Wine Companion: "Meets the second Muscat classification, classic, and then some, with its distinctive house style, so aromatic and elegant in rose petal, marzipan, dried fruits, caramel and nutty rancio. It flows sweet, but importantly, it is also fresh and clean in spirit. The classification asks for a blended age of six to 10 years. It is delivered with some poise under a sympathetic winemaker's hand. 500ml." 93 Points. Feb 2025
