The NV Rosewood Vineyards Muscat appears only slightly less complex than the Muscadelle. Possessing a very pale brown color with a glint of gold, this wine is quite grapey on the nose with notes of brandied sultanas and spice cake. In the mouth it’s very sweet and rich with relatively medium-high acid to balance. The finish is very long with flavors of spicy grape syrup. As with the Muscadelle, this is also an amazing value.

Chambers’s entry-level Rutherglen Muscat is a wonderful wine in its own right, and a relative bargain among sweet wines. It’s floral and berry-like on the nose, with a viscous mouthfeel and caramel flavors that carry hints of berry fruit, honey and citrus.

Sweet, smooth and spicy, with tobacco, toasted walnut, clove and cinnamon overtones to the prune and dried cherry flavors. Finishes with refinement. Drink now. 1,000 cases imported.
