For over 155 years, the Morris family have earned their position as one of the most prominent winemaking families in Australia, with their name being synonymous with 'Liqueur Muscat' for many years. Today, David Morris, the fifth generation of the family to run the winery, ensures the Morris name remains one of Australia's most respected.
The Old Premium Rare Muscat is the champion wine in the Morris stables, and rightfully so gathers the most attention. This is an unadulterated liquid of pure joy and hedonism. Made in the traditional sherry-like Solera method, where older vintage wines are topped up with the fresh vintage in each passing season, this Old Premium Rare has some base vintages going back almost 100 years, and the average blend sits somewhere between 20 and 40 years of age.
The Muscat is made from Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, using late-harvested grapes, that are raisined slightly before fermentation. The unctuos liquor is then fortified with a neutral local grape spirit, which ceases the fermentation process, before the wine is then left to mature in large format oak casks for years to decades. This is one of the greatest assets in International wine, and the wine style of wine that Australia has no peer on. Of al the great, iconic high scoring wines in the world, very few will ever be as accessible and well priced as this Morris Old Premium Rare Muscat.
