Muscat 1983 Solero Blend No. 1
The Gordo Blanco Muscat variety is recognised as one of the oldest grape varieties in the world and is known for producing the finest fortified wines.
My father, Peter, had the opportunity to purchase a small quantity of this variety in 1961 and would go on to produce our most prized and sought-after fortified wine - the
Reserve Muscat 1961 Solero. The last vintage of Muscat that he and I produced together was in 1983. In recent years we were fortunate to find a small vineyard of Gordo Blanco Muscat in the swan Valley. It was exceptional quality, and I knew that blending it with our remaining 1983 Muscat was going to produce an extraordinary wine.
Please enjoy this liqueur that is the culmination of my family’s 90-year commitment to winemaking.
