Produced from the Muscadelle grape, and previously called Tokay, this blend is comprised of material aged between six and ten years old. Amber to old gold in color, it shows fresh honeycomb, orange peel and cold leaf-tea on the nose. The palate offers sweet toffee, citrus fruits and honey with a hint of spirit and aged oak spice on the back palate. Muscadelle carries itself with a feline grace as opposed to the powerhouse Muscat persona.

92 pts - Wine Enthusiast : “This Muscadelle is amber colored and green-rimmed. It’s a heady mix of guava, pineapple rind, pistachio and browned butter. Creamy and rich on the palate, there’s just enough acidity to cut through the intense sweetness. A salty cheese would be the perfect counterpoint to this very Aussie sticky.”
91 pts/SPECIAL VALUE - Halliday Wine Companion : “Among the benchmarks for fortified wine in Australia with a fabled few, this is a younger average base with a smidgeon of barrel work amidst a pantheon of highly complex wines. None the worst for it, equipping the wine with a versatile drinkability at the table. Malty. Very. The sweetness belied by a je ne sais quoi freshness. Otherwise orange blossom, truffled honey and creme brûlee. I would drink this chilled.”
94 pts - Halliday Wine Companion : “Bright, clear golden orange; apart from the bizarrely low price, the fortifying spirit has been so cleverly chosen and then integrated, you can sail past it without noticing its presence. I really shouldn't go praising this wine too highly, even less suggest it's a classy way of getting smashed.”
