Rutherglen Muscat Tasting Note

Wine Making

The grapes are left until late in the season to achieve optimum ripeness, ensuring maximum fruit flavor and a high degree of natural sweetness. Selected parcels of the finished wine are then added to the Rutherglen Muscat solera which is a blend of a number of vintages from many past years. Wine can only be withdrawn from this solera when it matches exactly with the previous withdrawal thus ensuring the quality and consistency of style.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. Excellent chilled as an aperitif or with strong cheeses, plum pudding or after dinner with freshly brewed coffee.

Technical

The Grapes: Muscat a petit grains rouge (locally known as Rutherglen Brown Muscat) from Campbells Rutherglen vineyards.
Alcohol: 17.5%

Shows the breadth and depth of Campbells' considerable solera of fortified wines that goes back generations. Its entry-level muscat is layered and complex in toffee, dried fruits, butterscotch and rich in raisiny sweetness with developing rancio notes. Great flavour, great price. 375ml. - 93 points

Halliday Wine Companion 2025

Five generations of Campbells have laid down stocks for their muscat solera. It shows, even at this introductory Muscat Classification level. Golden amber in colour. Delivers freshness with wood age and flavours that sing: butterscotch, raisin, dried fruits, vanilla pod and warm toffee. Complex and layered beyond its classification and price. So good. 375ml. - Jeni Port - 92 points

Halliday Wine Companion 2024

"Boasting an average age of 5 years, this entry-level Rutherglen muscat hits way above its classification and price point, revealing the depth of the stocks on hand in the Campbells cellar. It's a steal. The golden, amber wine carries the freshness expected of the classification, but also depth and elegance in its silken textural palate rich in flavours of fig, honey, nougat and toffee with a touch of rose oil. 375ml."- Jeni Port - 93 points

Halliday Wine Companion 2023

"Rutherglen fortified houses with extensive back vintages often bring in older blending material to give the introductory Rutherglen level extra depth and character. Campbells has such reserves. Mid amber in hue, distinctive aromas of tea leaf, toasted almond and butterscotch. Deceptively deep for its classification level. Yes, it's fresh and lively, but there's also a savoury nutty complexity. Fab value plus. 375ml." - Jeni Port - 92 points
