The Stanton & Killeen Classic Muscat NV is a beautifully balanced fortified wine from Rutherglen, Victoria, produced by one of Australia’s most historic family wineries. Crafted from carefully matured parcels of Muscat and aged using the traditional solera system, it showcases the rich, luscious style that has made Rutherglen Muscat famous around the world. The 500ml format is perfect for sharing or enjoying over multiple occasions, with the wine retaining its remarkable freshness after opening.
The nose is rich and inviting, revealing raisin, fig and dates alongside notes of toffee, caramel, roasted nuts and orange peel. The palate is velvety and luscious, with layers of dried fruit, butterscotch and mocha balanced by bright spirit freshness. Smooth and beautifully integrated, it finishes long with lingering notes of toffee, spice and roasted nuts.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A classic Rutherglen Muscat that delivers exceptional richness and complexity. Enjoy lightly chilled as an after-dinner treat or pair with sticky date pudding, dark chocolate desserts, blue cheese, roasted nuts or Christmas cake. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to provide enjoyment for many years after opening when stored correctly.
