"Quite light. Rose petals and green vegetation on the nose. All Pfeiffer wines lighter and more transparent than most. Very pure chocolate and roses flavours. Dry finish."
Jancis Robinson MW
Aromas of rich, raisined fruit greet the nose. The palate is one of luscious fruit,with a lovely long finish. Each year Muscat grapes are harvested at high sugar levels. This wine is then transferred into barrels and casks of different volumes (generally for anything between 2 and 5 years for this Rutherglen classification). These parcels are then blended to produce youthful, fresh wines some complexity and concentrated flavours. The Pfeiffer Rutherglen Muscat is a fine example of this classification and displays floral and raisin fruit and a rich, luscious palate.
Pfeiffer Wines are located in Rutherglen in North East Victoria, one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious regions.
Its reputation may have been built largely on the fabulous sweet muscats that are luscious and rich, but there is much more to this small yet dynamic region. At their century-old cellars, winemaker Chris Pfeiffer and daughter Jen also craft delicious shiraz, cabernet, tempranillo and a white blend, but in very small quantity.
