The Stanton & Killeen Rutherglen Muscat NV is the foundation style in the famous Rutherglen Muscat classification, produced by one of Australia’s oldest family wineries. Crafted from Muscat à Petits Grains Rouge and matured for an average of 5–7 years in seasoned oak, it showcases the bright fruit, richness and freshness that have made Rutherglen Muscat one of Australia’s most iconic fortified wine styles.
The nose reveals aromas of fresh raisins, rose petals and orange blossom alongside hints of marmalade and Turkish delight. The palate is rich and velvety, with flavours of dried fruit, honey and citrus peel balanced by vibrant freshness and a smooth, lingering finish. Sweet yet beautifully poised, it delivers remarkable intensity without becoming heavy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A wonderful introduction to the world of Rutherglen Muscat, offering exceptional value and unmistakable regional character. Enjoy lightly chilled as an after-dinner treat or pair with baklava, sticky date pudding, dark chocolate, blue cheese or Christmas cake. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to provide enjoyment for months after opening when stored correctly.
