Wine
All Saints Estate Museum Muscat is made from Brown Muscat, a renowned Rutherglen strain of the variety Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. Its dark red brown fruit is intensely flavoured.
With wine made from these vines, All Saints Estate won Australia's first international wine gold medal at the London International Exhibition in 1873 for a sweet blend of Shiraz and Muscat.
Rutherglen fortifieds are classified by blend age. A blend of the richest and rarest over 100 year old stocks in Australia, Museum Muscat is beyond classification; it is significantly older than even the very oldest Rutherglen classified wines.
The colour of treacle with olive hues, All Saints Estate Museum Muscat is unctuous and mouth filling. It is concentrated, rich and incredibly complex, with a very long finish.
An iconic Australian wine. Drink within a year of purchase.
