Of the 1300 entries submitted from more than 36 countries, an esteemed panel of judges including sommeliers, Master of Wines and Wine Buyers have unanimously found Gralyn Estate’s Artizan Rare Muscat to be the highest scoring wine.

It won a whopping 97 points, making it a Gold Medal Winner, and the WINE OF THE YEAR 2022.

Alongside the 2 prestigious medals, it also won Best Wine by Quality, and Wine of the Year by Country (Australia) award.

Gralyn Estate Artizan Rare Muscat is a limited release, matured in old oak casks. Everything about this wine is exquisite  — from flavour to label. It is rich and sports intense flavours of raisin and toffee.  A consistent trophy winner, this luscious fortified dessert wine is predominantly muscat - vibrant, deep amber-brown with a green rim. Aptly labelled, this limited release has the stamp of a true Artizan – hand crafted and unique. 

This exquisiteness also reflects in the intricate label which is an original artwork by Merilyn Hutton.

What to expect? 

Rich, dense character with good acidity and pronounced aromas of toffee, raisins, candied fruit, chocolate, mocha and dates. Generous palate with notes of toast, caramel and raisins and a complex long finish.

What is special?

This wine, along with other barrel aged fortifieds are produced using a Solera System. A Solera is a process for ageing wine by fractional blending in such a way that the finished product is a blend of ages. Blending and freshening plays a key role in producing a beautifully balanced wine. The solera in the Artizan Rare Muscat dates back 40+ years.
