NV Pfeiffer Wines: Grand Rutherglen Muscat
Posted: 12:36 Thu 10 Dec 2020
Average age of the wines in the blend is 18 years. This wine is based on the 1986 vintage wine, the second vintage made by the winery after it was established by Chris Pfeiffer in 1984.
Deep dark brown in colour with a hint of olive green in the tone, 95% opaque. Gentle perfumed nose, floral dark honey. So thick in texture, high glycerol content. The flavours are restrained and relaxed in their pace of development; wonderful perfume on the mid-palate with the sweet and floral honey flavours balanced by high levels of acidity. Coffee aftertaste and sticky lips from the high levels of sugar before the floral perfume and honey returns for the finish. Such a rich and decadent wine. 91/100. Drunk 10-Dec-20.
