The Stanton & Killeen Classic Topaque NV is a beautifully crafted fortified wine from Rutherglen, Victoria, produced by one of Australia’s most celebrated family wineries. Made from the Muscadelle grape and matured through the traditional solera system, it showcases the distinctive richness and complexity that have made Rutherglen Topaque a world-renowned style. Bottled in a convenient 500ml format, it offers an elegant balance of luscious sweetness, freshness and remarkable depth.
The nose reveals aromas of toffee, butterscotch and honey layered with roasted nuts, dried apricot and orange marmalade. The palate is rich and silky, with flavours of caramel, coffee, malt and candied citrus supported by a smooth, velvety texture. Beautifully balanced and lingering, it finishes with notes of toffee, spice and roasted almond.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A wonderfully indulgent fortified wine that is perfect as an after-dinner treat. Pair it with crème brûlée, sticky date pudding, pecan pie, roasted nuts or mature blue cheeses. Serve lightly chilled or at cellar temperature and enjoy now, with the wine remaining in excellent condition for many months after opening when stored correctly.
