Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, sweet
Fortified Muscadelle from Rutherglen, one of the wine world's genuine originals — solera-aged in the region's baking summer heat until it turns amber and viscous. Classic is the second rung of the Rutherglen ladder, above the base tier and below Grand and Rare, so this carries real age: butterscotch, cold tea, malt and toffee over dried fig, with a sweetness that never turns cloying because the spirit and the tea-leaf grip cut straight through it. Once opened it keeps for months rather than days.
