Muscat can be too much of a good thing. With that in mind, a barrel of aromatic Red Muscat from Vine Vale was blended with some chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills, which provided a much sought-after restrain and resulted in a vibrant pink colour. But don’t mistake it for a rose. It is quite aromatic, and a little bit textural. Full of intrigue. Glacé cherry, rhubarb compote and coriander seed gently carried through by soft phenolics and acidity. One of a kind!
