Today, Yalumba maintains its\u003cbr\u003e\nreputation for premium quality fortified wines by occasionally releasing very small parcels of\u003cbr\u003e\nshow reserve stocks. Luscious and intense, this gloriously indulgent dessert wine is made from\u003cbr\u003e\nMuscat grapes that are picked late for sweetness and aged in barrels for up to 10 years.\u003cbr\u003e\nMade predominantly from the brown, red and black sports of the Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains\u003cbr\u003e\ngrape. Briefly fermented on skins to soften and release the flavours from the shrivelled and\u003cbr\u003e\npartially raisined berries. After draining and pressing, the fermentation is arrested by\u003cbr\u003e\nfortification with neutral grape spirit to retain the varietal flavours and liqueur sweetness in the\u003cbr\u003e\nwine\u003cbr\u003e\nThe vintage wines are then put into small oak barrels to mature, producing complex wines with\u003cbr\u003e\nraisin and fruitcake flavours. After many years of maturation, a selection of older and younger\u003cbr\u003e\nwines are judiciously blended to produce a complex and balanced wine displaying fruit and\u003cbr\u003e\naged characters. The base blend, from which the Antique Muscat is bottled, is regularly re-\u003cbr\u003e\nblended to perpetuate the consistency and complexity of this classic style from year to year.\u003cbr\u003e\nT A S T I N G N O T E S\u003cbr\u003e\nThis luscious dessert wine is deep amber to tawny in colour with olive green hues. The wine\u003cbr\u003e\nexhibits classic perfumed aromas of the Muscat grape – lifted florals of rose petal, ginger spice\u003cbr\u003e\nand orange peel, with butterscotch and fruitcake. The palate is soft, silken and luscious in\u003cbr\u003e\ntexture, quite viscous and concentrated, then richly flavoured showing a melange of raisined\u003cbr\u003e\nfruit, wood aged characters, fruitcake and spices, finishing with delicate and integrated spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is an indulgent and seamless wine.\u003cbr\u003e\nF O O D P A I R I N G\u003cbr\u003e\nServe with blue cheese, crème brûlée or pecan pie and a dollop of triple cream.\u003cbr\u003e\nV I N E Y A R D \u0026amp; P R O D U C T I O N I N F O\u003cbr\u003e\nW I N E M A K I N G \u0026amp; A G I N G\u003cbr\u003e\nA N A LY T I C A L D A TA\u003cbr\u003e\nP R O D U C E R P R O F I L E\u003cbr\u003e\nEstate owned by: Robert Hill-Smith\u003cbr\u003e\nWinemaker: Louisa Rose\u003cbr\u003e\nTotal acreage under vine: 650\u003cbr\u003e\nEstate founded: 1849\u003cbr\u003e\nRegion: South Australia\u003cbr\u003e\nCountry: Australia\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yalumba","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47438015791328,"sku":"129358","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/yalumba-museum-antique-muscat_1.jpg?v=1748635394","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/yalumba-museum-antique-muscat-nv-375ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
