MORCLT500ML
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. Hard to beat on price and flavour. Draws on an impressive solera of past vintages to bring the complexity of age and the freshness of youth to the glass. The rich scent of honey, malt, raisin, orange peel and toasted nuts introduces a warm, sweet mouthful of pleasure. Consistency plus, as always. 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
Considered the lighter, finer cousin of Muscat, Topaque is produced from Muscadelle which is a white wine grape. The wine takes on a caramel hue from its extended time in oak and displays candied fruits, honey, toffee and a distinctive cold tea character on the palate. Created in four distinct styles, there is a Topaque for all occasions.
