The Muscadelle grapes were crushed and fermented on skins for only a day. Fermentation was stopped using high strength grape spirit and then the clarified wine is transferred to large old oak for 2 - 3 year barrels to mature. Following this parcels are then carefully blended and returned to smaller oak barrels to reach the desired style and average age. Awarded the Trophy for Best Rutherglen Topaque at the London International Wine Challenge, this wine expresses our skill and commitment to making premium quality fortified wine.
