It’s been a week of exciting news here at Campbells, first with our awards at the Rutherglen Wine Show, and now a GOLD and ‘Best in Show’ award in the Decanter Asia Wine Awards 2018. Our Merchant Prince Rare Rutherglen Muscat was awarded 98 points – one of only five wines to receive the highest rating – out of 3,100 global wine entries! Said to have ‘age written all over it’, the wine was praised for it ebony hue and extravagant aromatic sweetness. This wine truly is in a league of its own. Check out the full tasting note below:

“This Rutherglen Muscat has age written all over it — and most notably in its hue, which is ebony in the glass with a walnut-coloured meniscus. It takes a long time (and a lot of heat and evaporation) for a white wine to attain a colour like this, and the wine’s 400 g of residual sugar tells us that it would fall either into the ‘Grand’ or the ‘Rare’ catgories of Rutherglen Muscat. It can only be swirled in the glass with difficulty — and then leaves the glass sides coated. The aromas are an assault course of warmth, fruit and time itself, layered out with extravagant aromatic sweetness and a kind of insinuating richness you’ll find nowhere else; the flavours are heavy, dense, rich and reverberative, freighting down the tongue with treacle, citrus, spice, caramel and tar.
