Q

Describe the process by which Rutherglen Muscat is produced?

A

The fruit is left on the vine to shrivel and for sugars to concentrate. After harvest, a short maceration is allowed to ferment until 20-40g/l have been consumed (usually between 1-2 days). The fruit is then pressed and the juice is immediately fortified by a neutral 96proof grape spirit (in a 1:4 ratio). The wine is then aged for years, even decades, in varying sizes of barrique.
