Region
A vast and important fruit-producing region on the Murray River in South Australia at the border with Victoria. This irrigated region produces many different varietals in relatively warm conditions and supplies much of the competitively priced, full-flavoured Aussie bulk wine.
Tasting Notes
This NV Rutherglen Muscat showcases fresh fruit aromas and a rich, lasting palate. The Muscat grapes are left on the vine to dry and shrivel allowing development of the classic dried fruit characteristics such as raisin and marmalade. With an average age of 5-7 years, it has developed a unique expression of flavours such as rose petals, orange blossom and a hint of Turkish Delight—characteristics unique to Stanton & Killeen’s site and soil.
Food
Desserts that are no too sweet, such as cheesecake, almond tart or dried fruits.
