Rutherglen Muscat is the 8th Wonder of the World, no kidding. This Yalumba Antique Muscat is a blend of some batches of muscat from outside of Rutherglen, so technically not a pure Rutherglen Muscat but still the style reigns strongly. And no
one describes it better than decanter: “Like Rutherglen Muscat, shrivelled and partially raisined berries are fermented briefly on skins, then fortified. Fruit is sourced from red and black (as well as Rutherglen's brown) Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains mutations. Ageing in hogsheads and barriques dials up the richness (360g/l residual sugar), unleashing bourbon and marzipan
like nutty notes to its boozy Christmas pudding and medjool date flavour. Moreish, not mawkish, with savoury chicory coffee notes and deftly balanced acidity.â€â€” Decanter, Jan 2021
Smells
the bouquet is irresistible, and you could simply smell the glass all night long… nutty, rancio, liquorice, bourbon, toasted hazelnuts with hints of orange blossom and marzipan.
