Tasting notes:

Founded in 1928, De Bortoli is now owned and operated by the third and fourth generations of the family. From their Rutherglen winery comes this stunning example of Riverina’s renowned Show Liqueur Muscat. Dark tawny-coloured with green hints on the rim, the wine has raisins, dates and Muscat grapes accented by butterscotch, nuts and toasty oak. Very sweet, rich and almost treacle, the palate is balanced by brisk acidity. Complexity is given by roasted nuts and dark chocolate nuances. The wine is layered and beautifully textured and will match Creole-style chocolate soft gateau.  (Patricia Stefanowicz MW)
