“Rutherglen’s liquid gold” by Decanter Magazine 2024
One of the most popular and highly awarded wies with a complex palate of cocoa, rich raisin fruit, rose petal and dried fig. This Classic Muscat is a perfect blend of fresh and older Muscat parcels, this wine offers the best of both worlds. It showcases vibrant, fresh fruit flavours alongside the deeper, richer complexity that comes with extended time in oak.
With notes of Turkish Delight, raisins, walnuts, and dense fruit cake, this tier has a much greater richness and complexity than the Rutherglen tier, hinting at the mature wood-aged characters that will continue to develop as it ages. It’s the ideal middle ground for those who want a balance of youthful fruit and the beginnings of that beautiful, layered depth Muscat is known for.
95 Points, Tom Kline Decanter Magazine, Jan 2024 - “Amazing aromatic depth here. Raisins, delicate potpourri, preserved fig, subtle chocolate and coffee grounds. There's a brilliant melding of fruit and savoury on the palate which is intense and harmonious. Fig, christmas pudding, milk chocolate and sticky date pudding. A wonderful acid backbone brings length and freshness. It's very moreish on account of its harmony and complexty. A class act at this level. Drink: Now-2080”
