DESCRIPTION

Tasting Notes

Deep golden. Rich aromas of cold tealeaf, toffee, honey and citrus.

"Liquid Gold" Classic Rutherglen Topaque Tasting Note

Wine Making

The grapes are left until late in the season to achieve optimum ripeness, ensuring maximum fruit flavour and a high degree of natural sweetness. Only selected parcels of premium fruit are added to the Classic Rutherglen Topaque solera. The wine that provides the basis of this blend dates back to the 1960’s. Wine can only be withdrawn from this solera when it matches exactly with the previous withdrawal thus ensuring the quality and consistency of style.

Cellaring

Blended through our solera for optimum flavour and balance this wine will not improve with further cellaring and should ideally be enjoyed soon after opening. Perfect with fresh fruit, sticky date pudding or freshly brewed coffee and fine chocolates.

Technical

The Grapes: Muscadelle from Campbells Rutherglen vineyards.
Alcohol: 17.5%

Palate:

Intense and mouthfilling. Malt and toffee combine with rancio characters providing a wine of power and complexity with a luscious yet clean finish. "Liquid Gold" Classic Rutherglen Topaque Tasting Note

It could be argued that the Classic fortified level is where you start to see real complexity and lusciousness emerging. It's certainly the case here, where the average age is 12 years. Golden amber in colour. Penetrating aromas, fresh and raisiny, sweet cold tea, caramel toffee and orange peel. Harmonious, lush, good intensity, extra long length and the kind of freshness achieved through masterful blending and clean, neutral spirit. 500ml. - Jeni Port - 95 points

Halliday Wine Companion 2024

"An alluring Classic Topaque, appearing darker, more concentrated and drier than its muscat equivalent and, I might add, slightly more mysterious with an additional intriguing leatherwood honeyed, nutty spice in play in concert with the rich fruitcake, malt biscuity, butterscotch sweetness. A wine of contemplation and a great deal of sensory enjoyment. 500ml." - Jeni Port - 95 points

Halliday Wine Companion 2023

"Mid-amber with a red tinge; lots in this Classic - lemon toffee, cold tea, grilled nuts, fruitcake and raisins dunked in molasses. It's also spicy, very fresh and lively. Of course there's plenty of richness with the sweetness tempered by acidity and umami flavours." - 95 points
