Grapes
Brown Rutherglen Muscat grapes
NV – Average Age 25 years old
Muscat grapes are typically harvested between 18-20º Baumé, with some raisining occurring of the grapes. The grapes are crushed into static fermenters, where they are given a cold maceration for 3 days. Fermentation is started on skins (only 1-2%v/v), before the grapes are pressed into stainless steel tanks for fortification using a neutral grape spirit, leaving a sweet wine of around 17.5% v/v.
After fortification, the Muscat wines are clarified, then transferred into barrels and casks of different volumes for several years (anything between three and thirty). Most batches are kept separate, however some batches are blended for the maturation process. It is this maturation process that concentrates the wines and produces the rich, complex flavours of which Rutherglen Muscats are renowned. Our Pfeiffer Rare Rutherglen Muscat is blended from our very best parcels, made in only the best vintages that have been matured in the best possible barrels. This creates an exquisite wine, of outstanding quality, remarkable depth and wonderful persistence.
The Pfeiffer Rare Rutherglen Muscat has a dark brown, black colour, with olive green hues. It has an exquisite coffee character on the nose, with hints of chocolate and floral Muscat. The palate has intense concentration, lusciousness and depth. Flavours of coffee and dark chocolate integrate seamlessly with the pure Muscat flavours running through the wine, resulting in a wine of breathtaking complexity.
