Rooiberg Winery Red Muscadel 2021 75cl.
★★★★½ 4.3 (4 reviews)This is your after-dinner reward. Pour a small glass of Rooiberg Red Muscadel, chilled, and you get a wave of sun-dried raisins, warm honey and a little floral lift. It's sweet and silky and properly grown-up, the kind of thing you sip slow while everyone's winding down. One bottle goes a long way, because a little of this is plenty.
Glowing garnet in the glass, almost glowing under a light. The nose is ripe raisin and honey with a whisper of spice and something floral underneath. On the palate it's full, lush and unashamedly sweet, like muscat grapes that have been left to bake in the sun. The texture is silky, the sweetness rolls on, and the finish lingers long enough that you'll go back for one more sip before you've even decided to. Rich, but never cloying.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Rooiberg comes out of the Robertson Wine Valley, a warm, lime-rich pocket of South Africa's Western Cape that's long been famous for its muscat and fortified wines. It's a grower-owned winery, the kind where the fruit comes from local family vineyards. Muscadel is their heritage grape, picked super ripe and fortified with grape spirit to lock in all that raisiny sweetness. This is one of those wines South Africa quietly does better than almost anyone.
