Show Liqueur Muscat (500ml)

Region
Riverina, NSW

Appearance
Nut brown with a slight green hue.

Bouquet
Intense aromas of raisin, fig and spice with underlying floral notes.

Palate
A rich and luscious palate exploding with rich Muscat flavours of raisins, figs, dates, toffee and caramel.  Sweetness balanced with some vanillin oak notes make for a lovely lingering finish.

Winemaking
Fruit is left on the vines to become very ripe before harvesting at 16-18 baume. Once harvested the fruit is crushed, partially fermented  then fortified on skins to further extract the floral and aromatic flavours from the fruit. The wine is pressed off skins and then transferred to barrels for maturation.
