| Fruit is left on the vines to become very ripe before harvesting. It is then taken to the winery to be crushed, fermented then fortified and filled to both small and larger oak casks for extended maturation. The fruit and oak are beautifully integrated. | ||
| This Muscat has an average age of ten years and shows intense raisin, fig and coffee aromas on the nose with concentrated old rancio and wood notes, which continue to a palate showing intense flavour with ripe Muscat fruit very evident. The oak is beautifully integrated with a long, lingering finish that is smooth and delicious. |
