When I first judged the fortified wine classes at the Sydney Wine Show 45 years ago, I was a cork bobbing in a sea of unimaginable intensity and density of flavours. But Len Evans made it clear that the best wines had freshness in the midst of a bewildering tsunami of luscious spiced, dried fruit flavours. It has amazing freshness, length and a bright finish, rancio in high relief.

This has a tsunami of luscious spices, raisins dipped in chocolate, and dried fruit flavours, yet has enhancing freshness, length and a bright finish, rancio in high relief. This has to be given 100 points.

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

Muscat is a wine style unique to Australia. Made from Muscat à Petit Grain Rouge, known locally as Brown Muscat, these wine captivate wine consumers with their richness and intensity of flavour. Ranging from bright rainsiny sweetness in its youth to more intense, complex and rich flavours of fruit cake, mocha and citrus peel as it ages. An ideal after dinner wine, Muscat pairs beautifully with chocolate, fruity desserts or strong cheeses.
