NV Rare Muscat
Rich & other-worldly
Average age more than 25 years
Our Rare Muscat is the pinnacle of the Muscat of Rutherglen classification—rich, intense, and utterly extraordinary. With an average age of more than 25 years, this wine offers layers of dark chocolate, coffee bean, treacle, and warming Christmas spices. Its rich, viscous texture and mellow complexity create a depth that is truly other-worldly.
Stanton & Killeen’s Rare Muscat is especially remarkable, including parcels of Muscat dating back to the 1970s. Four generations have contributed to this wine, making it not just a masterpiece of winemaking but a living piece of history in every sip. For lovers of Muscat, this is the ultimate experience.
