Muscat
Rare Muscat
Currently Out of Stock, available November 2009.
During the outstanding Rutherglen vintage of 1983, a parcel of fruit with amazing intensity of flavour and reaching an incredible ripeness of 36o Beaumé was identified and set aside for ageing in small oak casks. The fruit forms the basis of the Seppeltsfield Rare Rutherglen Muscat, a wine with an immensely rich, complex palate and outstanding length - the definitive, aged Rutherglen Muscat.
The recipient of 9 trophies and 35 gold medals in Australian Wine Shows since 1990.

Vineyard Region
Rutherglen
Grape Variety
Brown Muscat
Maturation
Extended barrel maturation in very old, small, oak casks at the Seppeltsfield winery.
Colour
Dark mahogany-brown in colour, with an olive green tint to the edges.
Nose
The nose clearly displays great age, whilst retaining varietal character. Almost unbelievably complex with an array of plum pudding, rose petal, raisin, spice and Muscat fruit aromas.
Palate
The palate is immensely rich and complex, with a depth of raisin fruit and incredible viscosity. The wine continues to gain intensity in the mouth building to a mid palate with a wealth of plum pudding and caramel flavours, before an incredibly long, lingering finish.
