Yalumba Antique Muscat 375ml

Sarah Ahmed - Decanter

Like Rutherglen Muscat, shrivelled and partially raisined berries are fermented briefly on skins, then fortified. Fruit is sourced from red and black (as well as Rutherglen’s brown) Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains mutations. Ageing in hogsheads and barriques dials up the richness (360g/l residual sugar), unleashing bourbon and marzipan-like nutty notes to its boozy Christmas pudding and medjool date flavour. Moreish, not mawkish, with savoury chicory coffee notes and deftly balanced acidity.

Weighty and raisiny, but elegant and rounded, showing a dense structure home to caramel, dried fruit and aniseed.
