Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium acidity, sweet
Tokay is the older Australian name for fortified Muscadelle, now generally called Topaque — a style found essentially nowhere else in the world. Rare is the top of the four-tier classification, requiring an average blend age of at least twenty years and usually carrying far older material through a solera. Grapes are raisined on the vine, fortified, then aged in old barrel where evaporation concentrates the wine each summer. Amber and viscous: butterscotch, cold tea, malt, raisin, dried fig and toffee, intensely sweet with a clean spirit lift that stops it turning syrupy. More savoury and tea-like than Rutherglen Muscat, which is the useful distinction between the two styles.
