This wine is an assemblage of selected single vintages between 2014 – 2024.
This Muscat is a long way from the norm as far as Rutherglen is concerned. I found it a wonderful change to the rich heavy honeyed Muscats of old. (which I am a fan)
However this wine brakes away from Rutherglen tradition and has put on the table exactly that a table wine of sorts.
Matured in used oak, the result is a wine with a lighter mouthfeel, supported by a fresh sweetness with clean acidity not cloying or thick or overly luscious in the mouth.
There is the expected orange and apricot flavours that fill the mouth in a lighter fresher manner. The wine maker really has put a new spin on an old wine style.
I enjoyed this wine well chilled with a warm Asian prawn salad.
Also I tried it on the rocks after dinner as I would a whiskey, it was enjoyable enough.
