Description
Rare by name and rare by nature, Stanton and Killeen's rare Muscat is the pinnacle of the Rutherglen Muscat style. Blended from only the best parcels of fruit with base material from the 1970s; it has an average age of 25 years. The intensity is outstanding with myriad of flavours that burst on to the palate including licorice, mocha, espresso, raisin and rich fruit pudding. All are integrated and balanced to provide a wonderful complexity with the rancio aspects of extreme age.
