Stanton & Killeen Classic Rutherglen Muscat
Rutherglen
Stanton & Killeen
Muscat
Colour is clear scarlet red, with viscosity and depth like refined sultana juice. Nose is overwhelming, there are florid characters, mixed nuts, rancio, jaffa and sweet green herbal essences. The palate is luscious and immediate, a rush of butter, sweet fresh tobacco leaf, gumnuts and parched raisins. There is honey, citrus, fruitbread and green tea. An ebbing and flowing counterpoint between semi-dried out grapes and musty varietal sugars. An excellent after dinner drink, especially with coffee. Works well with strong cheeses, fruitcake and walnuts.
