Description

From the same producer

The Rutherglen Muscat is typically tawny red in colour with aromas of rose petals, raisins and dried fruit. These characters carry through to the palate, balanced with fresh acidity and the strength of its alcohol content. The resulting wine is unctuous and rich yet zesty and balanced.

This silky, sweet version is the color of dark tea, with banana notes around the core of caramel, chocolate and cherry, finishing with moderate intensity.

Like Chambers' entry-level Muscadelle, this Muscat offers an affordable introduction to the Rutherglen style of sticky. The Muscat is full and round, with relatively simple notes of spiced orange and crème caramel and a finish that is sweet but balanced.

Jan 2014 - Chambers? oldest muscats and tokays/topaques are the greatest in Rutherglen, and hence in the world, but are not commercially sold, although they are entered in the Canberra National Wine Show from time to time. This is a baby in swaddling clothes, that will reach adulthood 30 years hence if kept in oak for that time. It?s a classic young raisin muscat, relatively youthful in colour, with spicy Christmas cake and candied orange peel flavours, and a heady spirit.

Dark, amber-edged brown. Musky cherry pit and dark chocolate scents are enlivened by a hint of pungent herbs. Sweet and plush, offering broad pit fruit and cherry compote flavors and a hint of burnt sugar. Lingers with very good smoky intensity, leaving a note of maple syrup behind.

Tasted Feb 2012 - Pale rosy tawny. Again some old oak on the nose here. Very sweet and thick. Lots of personality here but both sticky and dry on the end. Tastes too complex for a Rutherglen wine. Maybe should be Classic?
