‘Again the colour is stunning. Vividly inviting. It tastes of cherry syrup and raisins, sweet spices and malt. It's as fluid as it is delicious. And it's long.’ 94 points, JAMES HALLIDAY, winecompanion.com.au

Layered with rich, luscious, primary fruits of oranges and raisins. Backed by the complexity of roast nuts, this is a concentrated wine with just the right acid profile to keep it bright. TYSON STELZER, Wine 100

Complex and layered, demonstrating all the hallmarks of the Campbell's style; intensity, depth and finesse. This is the midway point for Rutherglen Muscat and still over delivers against nearly anything in terms of quality verse hip pocket damage. Raisins, toffee apple and just a hint of rancio nuttiness. Rich, long and satisfying. ROSCOE, Prince Wine Store

STAFF PICKS 2022 - EFFIE ROSS

Stepping into the cellars at Chambers is something akin to stepping into another dimension. The barrel room is a labyrinth of towering casks with age ranges from the most recent vintage through to old elixirs that reliably pre-date all of us. The sense of timelessness at Chambers is palpable. For me, the Grand Muscadelle is the best possible introduction to the style. Burnt butterscotch, orange peel, aromatic spices. The length and persistence are the hallmark of this wine, along with an alluring tension: the wine is simultaneously as unctuous, rich, and deeply caramel as it is ethereal - vibrant and lifted by lightness.

This is an incredibly complex wine; there's a sense as though layers of scents and flavours hidden in time are flecked throughout, lying dormant, seeping through the staves of old wood. Wines like this speak of Rutherglen, but they also speak of myriad places, things and old memories. A clove orange on the kitchen counter, displaced by tins of cocoa unloaded from the shopping basket, soaking up crumbs and noise of hundreds of honey sandwiches made and eaten in the long days of endless summer holidays. The oldest barrels for the Grand Muscadelle date back to the late 19th century. How astounding to think of these old barrels full of spirited, aromatic Tokay sitting quietly while we live out our lives. Equally astounding is how little thought many emerging wine professionals and oenophiles give to Rutherglen fortified's. I highly encourage you to give this wine a spot on your Christmas table this year. EFFIE

A hedonistic experience that is entirely, intrinsically Australian. Look to the vineyard site, the sandy soils and the taste, defined over decades, comes into view in an aromatic delicacy, complex and refined. Caramel, burnt butter, honeyed, raisined fruit, malt, nuts and spiced chai carry through fine and fresh from start to finish. Runs deceptively deep. (97) JENI PORT, wine companion

An exceptional fortified wine with plenty of depth and multiple layers that are long on the palate and deep down the throat. Walnuts, Sichuan spice, cloves, dates, tamarind and bitter red cherries with a touch of rancio. The acidity complements the fruit and extract, imparting a sense of true profundity. This will hold indefinitely. To even speak about a drinking window is comical. (98) JAMES SUCKLING

With an average age over 25 years, the NV Rare Topaque Rutherglen (2024 release) is an old and ethereal beauty. Waves of old furniture, leather, roasted nuts, orange peel and cold tea are all beautifully integrated. Despite its age, there is also a brightness and fruit purity that lift this wine into the stratosphere. (97) angus Hughson, vinous media

Very thick and exotic, rich and opulent but still with freshness of fruit, remarkable. Super-sweet but with sophistication and proper maturity too – and incredible length. 17.5 jancis Robinson

The colour tells a big part of the story: deep, dark amber brown. The scent is complex, sweet and pure with walnut, honeyed fruitcake, treacle, coffee bean and vanilla. Falls like velvet on the tongue; seamless. This classification is the domain of the expert blender and the choices she makes to convey house style (elegant, fine), complexity and, importantly, freshness. Jen Pfeiffer is one such master of the art. (97) JENI PORT, wine companion

Deep amber in appearance. The nose is incredibly complex and concentrated, with aromas of burnt oranges, roasted walnuts, sandalwood, dried fruit and dark chocolate coated coffee beans. Seriously deep and brooding and an iconic style of Australian wine found nowhere else in the world. The average age of base wines is 28 year. Exceptional. (98) JAMES SUCKLING

The brooding and immaculate NV Rare Muscat Rutherglen (2024 release) is superbly pitched and mesmerizing, with its aged coffee grounds, roasted nut, old spice and cocoa tones brightened by cherry compote. Incredible fruit density fills the palate while balanced sweetness provides a seamless quality. The finish builds and builds to a fabulous conclusion. (97) angus Hughson, vinous media

Extraordinary intensity – wow, it just keeps on expanding across the palate. Thick, oily texture with intense dried fruit and incredible ripeness. An absolute scene-stealer! 18.5 jancis Robinson
