Muscat Classifications
Muscats from their national birthplace in North East Victoria are revered by connoisseurs and pleasure-seekers alike. They are classified by blend age to mark the dazzling progression in richness and intensity as older stocks are blended in from barrels. Rutherglen Muscat is a young blend with lush fruit flavours and gorgeous rose-petal aromas.
Grape Variety
Brown Muscat is a clone of the oldest and noblest
variety of Muscat, Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains (Muscat of Frontignan is a synonym).
Winemaking
The fruit is allowed to become very ripe on the vine before harvest. It is picked and crushed, then macerated for up to three days. The must is pressed and the juice is fortified with spirit to 18%. The resulting wine is then aged in barrel from 8 to 80 years, depending on the product classification it is destined for.
Colour, Nose and Palate
Kaleidoscope hues of amber and gold, irresistible flavours of butterscotch, raisin and treacle. Be seduced by the world’s most celebrated and decadent dessert wine.
Food Matching
Young Muscat is a great match for all sorts of desserts. Try it with and sticky date pudding and coffee or drizzled over French vanilla ice-cream for an indulgent late night treat.
Cellaring Potential
Fortified wines are aged in barrel and not intended for lengthy maturation in bottle. They should be consumed within 18 months of purchase be enjoyed at their best.
