Winemaking Notes
Only the very best lots of our Rutherglen Brown Muscat parcels go into the making of this wine. 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, the balance older and younger materials adding to the great complexity and depth of the wine.
Food Matches
It is wonderful with dark, dark chocolate or enjoy the complexity of the wine on it's own.
Halliday Wine Companion: "With incredible base age comes complexity in muscat but, with this maker, there is also a beautiful aromatic elegance. My goodness it's good! Orange peel, nougat, rose oil, walnut cake and raisin aromas rise clean and bright. Amid the deep concentration and warm sweetness, there is balance. Rancio notes, nuts and dried fruits, caramel and toffee, walnut, Dutch licorice and more fill the mouth; creamy in texture, super-concentrated in flavour. So long, so good." 96 Points Jeni Port. 07 Jan 2024
