Region: Australia, Rutherglen
Grape variety: Muscadelle
Background: Morris of Rutherglen has been placed 2nd on The Real Review's Top Wineries of Australia 2023!
Tasting notes: Mild amber with slight green highlights, the aroma shows a great depth of malt, treacle and preserved figs. The palate is complex, intense and luscious, combined with the freshness of cold tea characters, typical of great Topaques.
With an average age of around 8-10 years, the Classic range is all about freshness and varietal character balanced by subtle age complexity from time in barrel. The palate is fresh and stylish, with a great depth of flavour. An elegant cousin of Muscat, Topaque is one of the classic fortified wine styles of Australia.
