For over 150 years, Rutherglen has been synonymous with Australia’s finest Muscats. Today, De Bortoli Wines is introducing a modern twist on this iconic style with the Muscat Aperitif, a vibrant, approachable version of the classic Muscat.
“The Muscat Aperitif redefines the way people see Muscat,” says Marc Scalzo, chief winemaker of De Bortoli Rutherglen Estate. “By blending fruit at different stages of ripeness, we’ve created a wine that’s fresh yet retains the depth and character Rutherglen Muscat is known for.”
With delicate flavours of peach, rose water, and orange blossom, the Muscat Aperitif offers a balance of honeyed sweetness and a refreshing, bitter finish. Its versatility shines through, whether chilled, over ice, or in cocktails. The Muscat Spritz, combining the Aperitif with De Bortoli Prosecco, is an easy way to enjoy its lively, floral profile.
