Rutherglen Muscats are classified under four s that mark a progression in richness, complexity and intensity of flavour. “Rutherglen Muscat” is the foundation style; displaying fresh raisin aromas, rich fruit, clean spirit and great length of flavour on the palate.Each year Muscat grapes are harvested at high sugar level. After fortification this wine is clarified then transferred into barrels and casks of different volumes for several years (3-30). It is this maturation process that concentrates the wines and produces rich complex flavours. These parcels of varying ages are then blended together prior to bottling to create the perfect balance for drinking.Food Pairing:Any decadent dessert, but equally delicious with a chilled Tomato Gazpacho soup.Pfeiffer Rutherglen Muscat from Fraziers Wine Merchants</p>
