Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, sweet
Rutherglen Muscat — fortified, barrel-aged in the north-east Victorian heat, and unlike anything else made from the grape. Raisin and dried fig with rose, orange peel and toffee, thick in texture and intensely sweet, but with a freshness that stops it from turning heavy. This is the base tier of the Rutherglen ladder, the youngest and brightest expression, where the fruit still shows clearly ahead of the rancio complexity that the older tiers develop. An opened bottle keeps happily for months.
