Standard Muscat ($17/L)
Couldn't load pickup availability
A true Rutherglen icon, this foundation Muscat is incredibly popular for many reasons. Rich and luscious raisin notes blend with delicate rose petal aromas and flavours to create this special wine.
Young muscats display more aromatics such as rose petal and Turkish Delight with fresh raisin notes, and as it ages, will show richer tones of Christmas pudding and chocolate shavings.
Standard Muscat is part of the standard range with an average age of 2-3 years.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STANDARD, PREMIUM, DELUXE AND SPECIALTY BLENDS?
Our Standard fortified is approximately 2 to 3 years old, fresh and versatile. It is a great starting point for a new barrel, or for adding a lift of bright, youthful flavour.
Premium is approximately 3 to 4 years old and offers a little more depth. It suits those who love a drink now style, or anyone wanting a head start on building a more mature blend.
Deluxe is approximately 4 to 5 years old and is the most developed option in our core range. It is ideal for brand new barrels, or for quickly adding extra age, richness, and complexity.
Our Specialty Blends are designed for customers who want to go further. They are for very established barrels, or for blends that have outgrown the Standard, Premium, and Deluxe range and need older, more distinctive material to keep evolving. These include parcels of varying ages and styles, as well as occasional single variety offerings to add interest, structure, and new life to your blend.
If you are unsure what your barrel needs, we recommend booking a blending consultation with our winemaker, either in person at the winery or online via Zoom. Please note that Zoom consultations require you to send a sample to the winemaker ahead of your appointment. You can do so here.
ORDER NOTE: Please note that we can only sell this bulk wine in lots of 2 or 5 litres. If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to call us on (02) 6032 9457 or email us via the website at Contact Us.
