Made from late-harvest Muscadelle grapes, this fortified wine hails from the heart of Rutherglen in Victoria. Aged in a solera system, it blends vintages to create a seamless expression of tradition and richness, with time in seasoned oak delivering intense depth and silky concentration.
Bouquet The nose is inviting with aromas of golden syrup, caramelised pear, spiced citrus peel, and honeycomb. Subtle floral notes mingle with toasted nuts and a hint of old leather, adding complexity.
Palate Lusciously sweet yet harmoniously balanced, the palate delivers layers of butterscotch, dried fig, and marmalade. Textural and warming, it glides across the tongue with velvety smoothness, finishing with lingering notes of treacle and orange zest.
Food Pairing Ideal with gingerbread, almond biscotti, or poached quince. It also works wonderfully with a sharp cheddar or a slice of rich fruitcake after dinner.
Cellaring Beautifully mature on release and stable once opened. It will keep well in the bottle for months after opening if stored in a cool, dark place.
