Stanton & Killeen Grand Rutherglen Topaque 500mL
If you’re on the hunt for a sweet wine, this is about as decadent as they come. Muscadelle, blended in a modified solera system of small oak barrels for an average of twenty years, is luscious and intensely sweet, with aromas of golden syrup, honey, cold tea and Christmas cake (there’s your food match!). It’s viscous and immensely rich on the palate, layered with potent sweetness of toffee, apricot jam, raisins and dates. A wine of monumental power, epic persistence and unrelenting line. Pour it at fridge temperature to pull it back a touch. $80 direct.
