YALUMBA STH AUSTRALIA - MUSEUM RELEASE MUSCAT 375mlYALUMBA STH AUSTRALIA - MUSEUM RELEASE MUSCAT 375ml
Yalumba Museum Reserve Muscat NV is made entirely from the red and pink sports of the Muscat, a Petite Grains grape variety grown in the Rutherglen and other traditional areas of northern Victoria. Dry-grown vineyards in these warm regions are ideally suited for producing exceptionally ripe fruit. The grapes ripen with considerable raisining of the berries regularly producing over 20 Baume. The wine is fortified with neutral grape spirit with no, or very little fermentation to retain the varietal and raisined flavours and liqueur sweetness in the final wine. After many years of maturation, a selection of older and younger wines are judiciously blended to produce a complexity and balance of fruit and aged characters. The base blend from which the Museum Muscat is bottled is regularly re-blended to perpetuate the consistency and complexity of the classic style from year to year.

YALUMBA STH AUSTRALIA - MUSEUM RELEASE TAWNY 375mlYALUMBA STH AUSTRALIA - MUSEUM RELEASE TAWNY 375ml
The original wines made four decades ago were blended from old-vine varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Muscadelle. Since 1985, Portuguese fortified varieties Touriga, Tinta Coa and Tinta Molle have contributed additional complexity to the blend. Dry-grown vineyards in the warmer sub regions of the Barossa Valley are well suited for their low yield and high ripening potential. The grapes are fermented on skins for several days to extract flavour and body then fortified with brandy spirit. After many years of maturation, a selection of older and younger wines are judiciously blended to produce a complexity and balance of fruit and aged characters. The base blend from which this Antique Tawny is bottled is regularly re-blended to perpetuate the consistency and complexity of this classic tawny style from year to year
