Morris of Rutherglen Old Premium Rare Liqueur Muscat 500ml, Rutherglen

A celebration of the master fortified blender's brilliance in a wine which is as close to magical as you can get. Six generations of Morris winemakers have had a hand in the solera that brings this beauty to the glass. This is not a wine to hurry; take your time to embrace the scents and flavours rich and luscious in fig, raisin, plum pudding and sticky date pudding and nutty rancio laid out across a velvety texture. Complex? Goes without saying. 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
