Discover the best wines made with Muscadelle as a single variety or as a blend of Australie du Sud-Est.
Aromatic, fruity whites with a tender palate, with intense aromas of muscat, white flowers, honey, candied citrus and floral notes (no genetic link to the muscat family). Minor component in the great botrytised dessert wines of Sauternes, Barsac, Cérons and Monbazillac, adding perfume and freshness. Also dry in Entre-Deux-Mers. Made as sumptuous fortified wines in Australia (Rutherglen Topaque). French variety from Bordeaux and the South-West.
Macro blending zone covering the southern half of the country (NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, parts of SA and QLD). Accessible, vintage-consistent brand wines: supple fruity Shiraz (blackberry, sweet spice), round Cabernet Sauvignon, gourmet Merlot, opulent Chardonnay (yellow fruit, vanilla), lively Sauvignon Blanc, lemony Sémillon. Status created for export and major international brands. From aperitif to everyday, an affordable, fruity expression of the Australian style.
