The Muscats of Rutherglen are a unique product of the climate, soil, and skill of the region's winemakers. On the gently undulating country around the township of Rutherglen in North East Victoria, Brown Muscat (or Muscat a petit grains Rouge) grapes ripen into raisined berries high in natural sugars.
From these grapes the winemakers extract wines of extraordinary power, complexity and depth of flavour. Every muscat in this region is made in keeping with the individual 'house' styles that have been developed over the years by each estate. The art of making, blending and maturing Rutherglen Muscat has been perfected over many generations; often through long held family traditions passed down from father to son.
Rutherglen Muscats are classified under four descriptions that mark a progression in richness, complexity and intensity of flavour:
Rutherglen Muscat
Classic Rutherglen Muscat
Grand Rutherglen Muscat
Rare Rutherglen Muscat
