The vines are not irrigated and rely on natural rainfall only. The temperate average temperatures produce very ripe fruit which is then hand picked before being carefully crushed at the winery. The fruit is fermented on skins for 24 hours, before draining and pressing. Fortification then takes place with high strength neutral grape spirit. Oak/lees treatment: The fortified Muscat is matured in large oak casks ranging in size from 1,500 to 4,500 litres until blending.The finished Muscat is a blend of many different vintages in order to give lusciousness, richness, age and freshness.

One of the finest and most interesting wines in Australia are the Muscats in the Rutherglen area. The world-acclaimed Morris Liqueur Muscats are produced from Brown Muscat which is a clone of the Muscat aux Petit Grains grown at our Rutherglen vineyards. The vines are not irrigated and rely on natural rainfall only. This, combined with the average temperatures we receive, allows very ripe fruit that we pick at 16-18 baume

Pruney, dried fig smell. Very inviting. Rolls into your mouth, and coats your tongue silkily. It really is very sweet. You'd want a glass of cold water close by, but the aftertaste is dark caramel and fig.
