Wine Description
Since the first grapes were harvested at Rutherglen in the 1850’s, connoisseurs of fine fortified wines have recognised the Topaques and Muscats of the region as wines of unsurpassed richness. Rutherglen Topaques and Muscats are classified under four descriptions that mark a progression in richness, complexity and intensity of flavour. “Rutherglen Topaque” is the foundation style; showing fresh fruit characters and integration of spirit.
The Pfeiffer Rutherglen Topaque is a fine example of this foundation style. It is fresh and vibrant, expressing lifted honey and vanilla bean aromas, luscious honey flavours and a lingering finish.
