Yalumba Antique Muscat 375ml Reviews

5 Rating 2 Reviews
Read Drink Finder Reviews

Yalumba maintains its reputation for its premium quality fortified wines by occasionally releasing very small parcels of Show Reserve stocks. This old Muscat was sourced from the Rutherglen and other Northern traditional areas of Victoria then blended and stored in French oak puncheons in our marble cellars at Angaston for eight years. Made from the red and pink clones of the Muscat, a petite grains grape variety, this luscious dessert wine displays all the characteristics of this classic Australian wine style. In colour this is a deep tawny red. On the nose its a classic rose petal and orange rind of the Muscat grape. In the mouth it shows off its luscious body. Richly flavored, reminiscent of raisined fruits, nuts and spices. Sweet and soft yet unclaying finish. Incredible persistence of flavors.

Giving 5 stars at the moment! This was for my husband's birthday which is later this month so we haven't tasted it yet! Will review again.

The most sublimely delicious and satisfying desert wine you'll ever encounter. Formerly known for over 30 years as "Yumba Museum Reserve", the recent name change is purely cosmetic. The wine within is unchanged, giving a deeply warming sweetness to the pallete with hints of spice that restrain the sweetness from becoming overpowering. No wonder my friend describes it as "Christmas in a bottle"! He nailed it there, but please don't wait for Christmas. Life is too short to restrict this treat to just once a year. It's divine and I'm happy to admit I adore it. A glorious end to any meal; I promise, your palette will never stop thanking you!
