Morris of Rutherglen Classic Muscat 500ml, Rutherglen

Hand picked, crushed and fermented on skins for 24 hours; pressed and fortified with high-strength neutral grape spirit then matured in large oak casks. Amber in colour with a nose that's sweet, floral, honeyed and utterly compelling. With an average age of 3–5 years, you get the obvious grapeyness of youth combined with a dash of Morris magic. Turkish delight, fruit cake, vanilla, nougat and toffee. Runs long, smooth, clean and fresh. 500ml.

When his father Mick, one of Rutherglen’s favourite sons, retired in 1993 David became the fifth generation Morris to become winemaker at the company’s Mia Mia winery, 15km east of Rutherglen on the rich Brown’s Plains.

As the guardian of Morris Wines, David reveres his family’s rich history, yet humbly understates his own place within it. Today, David has earned a reputation as one of the world’s greatest fortified winemakers for his ability to create celebrated, world renowned wines year after year.

"The art of these wines lies in the blending of very old and much younger material. They have no equivalent in any other part of the world"
