Cellar Collection Grand Muscadelle NV 350mL
Indulge in the legacy of Brown family winemaking heritage with our Grand Muscadelle.

Complex and luscious flavours of fruit cake, caramel, malt and spice. Testament to the time-honoured traditions of our family winemaking.
Food Pairings
Serve with hot winter desserts such as plum or sticky toffee pudding, mince pies or a moist and sweet Christmas pudding. Alternatively it can be served with a strong washed rind cheese served with fruit bread and prunes marinated in the Grand Muscadelle.
The wine is then aged in a combination of predominantly large old oak barrels and some small oak barrels, which adds to the complexity of the flavour. A modification of the ancient Spanish Solera system is used to age and blend the wine, ensuring rich, older material is mixed with both medium aged and younger material. This system not only preserves the quality and characters of the wine over the years, but also keeps it fresh and balanced.
The
wine has been aged in old oak barrels and added to over 100 vintages. It now sits
at an average age of 35 years.
| Vineyard Region | Victoria |
| Wine Analysis | Alc/Vol: 18% |
| Colour | This wine displays the rich tawny colour and slight green hue we would expect from a quality aged Muscadelle. |
| Aroma | It has a wonderfully complex nose with aromas of caramel, raisins, spicy fruit cake and tea leaf. |
| Palate | On the palate this luscious wine displays intense flavours of toffee, maple syrup and spice with nutty rancio flavours that are balanced by a mouth filling, lingering finish. The wine also possesses a freshness that defies its 35 year average age. |
| Peak Drinking | Enjoy now. |
| Growing Conditions | The Muscadelle grapes used to make this wine were grown throughout vineyards in Victoria including Rutherglen and our Mystic Park Vineyard near Swan Hill. The fruit is harvested late when ripe and raisined and then fortified with grape spirit before too much sugar has fermented. |

Simply indulgent!
"We were lucky enough to have this wine offered to us during our tasting and we fell in love instantly. If we could have kept that flavour all day we would have! This would be perfect ar Christmas. It tastes, to us, just like drinking a Christmas cake or pudding. We loved it so much we bought a bottle as well!"
Interesting on fortified treasure
"Loved reading about the Grand Muscadelle. But, at that price you are a bit out of touch if you recommend macerating prunes in this special drop?"
