Tasting Notes

The Pfeiffer Rutherglen Muscat is a fine example of this foundation style. It has a bouquet of floral and raisin fruit, and a rich, luscious palate. The blend had been carefully prepared to incorporate the youthful freshness of the younger parcels, with the complex, concentrated flavours seen in the older parcels.

Food Matches

Any decadent dessert but equally delicious with a chilled Tomato Gazpacho soup.

Vinification

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.
