✨ Technical Specifications
Rutherglen in Victoria, Australia, is globally renowned for producing some of the world's most extraordinary fortified wines, and Buller's Fine Old Muscat is a quintessential representation of this unique heritage. Crafted from Brown Muscat (Muscat à Petits Grains Rouges), the grapes are left on the vine to shrivel, concentrating their sugars, flavors, and acids before being harvested, partially fermented, and fortified with grape spirit. The magic of this wine lies in its maturation within Buller's historic solera system, where decades-old barrels breathe in the extreme temperature fluctuations of the Rutherglen climate. This intense evaporation, known as the 'angels' share,' concentrates the wine into a luscious, complex nectar filled with notes of raisins, Turkish delight, dark chocolate, and complex rancio wood characters.
