In 1855 Timothy Stanton abandoned his occupation as a mechanic in West Suffolk, England and brought his family to Australia in search of gold. In 1864, together with his son John Lewis Stanton ,Timothy purchased land at Rutherglen in North East Victoria immediately establishing a farm and vineyard. By 1875 the Stantons were well established as successful Rutherglen vignerons. This wine is a fresh young style showing the sweet luscious fruit flavours for which Rutherglen Muscat is famous. Blended from 3 – 5 year old wines, it is fresh and ‘muscaty’ with strong raisin like flavours. It compares to plums, raisins, dates and oranges rolled into one.
