Complex & layered

Average age 12 years

We affectionately call this the ‘Goldilocks’ tier—it’s just right! Our Classic Muscat is a perfect blend of fresh and older Muscat parcels, this wine offers the best of both worlds. It showcases vibrant, fresh fruit flavours alongside the deeper, richer complexity that comes with extended time in oak.

With notes of Turkish Delight, raisins, walnuts, and dense fruit cake, this tier has a much greater richness and complexity than the Rutherglen tier, hinting at the mature wood-aged characters that will continue to develop as it ages. It’s the ideal middle ground for those who want a balance of youthful fruit and the beginnings of that beautiful, layered depth Muscat is known for.

The Muscat of Rutherglen Classification System

The Muscat of Rutherglen is a world-renowned wine style, recognised for its rich history and distinct flavours, unique to the Rutherglen region. This critically-acclaimed style is classified using a tiered system that showcases the progression in richness, complexity, age, and intensity of flavour. The four tiers provide a roadmap for understanding the wine’s development, from its bright, youthful expression to its most complex and aged forms.

While age plays a key role in determining classification, it’s not the only factor. Each producer develops a unique “House Style” within the system, creating a signature flavour that reflects their winemaking philosophy. Stanton & Killeen is proud to be one of only six Muscat houses globally that produces all four tiers of this iconic wine, with each tier offering a distinct level of complexity and depth.

With over 100 years of family winemaking, Muscat of Rutherglen represents a proud heritage of artistry and craftsmanship. The blending skills required to produce this exceptional wine have been passed down through generations, with winemakers carefully honing their techniques to share the richness and history of Muscat with enthusiasts around the world.
