Fortified WineCampbells Classic Rutherglen Muscat
The Campbells Classic Rutherglen Muscat is a distinguished Australian fortified wine that exemplifies the rich heritage of the Rutherglen region in Victoria. Crafted from Muscat à Petits Grains Rouge, locally known as Rutherglen Brown Muscat, this wine undergoes a meticulous solera aging process, with an average age of 12 years, well above the usual designated classification. The result is a deep amber hue with tawny reflections, offering a complex bouquet of butterscotch, fig, nougat, and raisin, complemented by a fine and lasting elegance characteristic of the Campbells' house style.
On the palate, the Classic Rutherglen Muscat delivers a harmonious balance of richness and freshness. The intense fruit flavors are seamlessly integrated with mellow oak nuances, leading to a luscious, lingering finish. This wine is versatile in its pairing options, excellently complementing vintage cheddar or blue vein cheeses, dried fruits, fresh nuts, or serving as a memorable conclusion to a meal alongside freshly brewed coffee. Its exceptional quality and depth have been recognized by wine critics, with Jeni Port awarding it 95 points in the Halliday Wine Companion 2024.
