Description
Produced from Muscat a Petit Grains, or Brown Muscat as it is more commonly known, the Grand Muscat is a deep amber color with a tawny rim. It displays a complex nose of spiced fruit cake, coffee and subtle rancio characters derived from time in oak. The complex palate shows luscious prunes, dried raisins, and mature peaty spirits finishing with impressive persistence.
Critical Acclaim

Deep mahogany. Dried fig and black tea on the nose, then concentrated mocha and molasses flavors, enlivened by candied orange zest. Full, rich and sweet, but surprisingly drinkable, with terrific intensity and length.#57 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 of 2016RP93
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
With a medium brown color going slightly green at the edge, NV Rosewood Vineyards Grand Muscat has aromas of macerated sultanas, fig paste, baklava, toasted hazelnuts and coffee grounds plus a little mace. The palate is very sweet and very crisp with an unctuous silkiness that blankets the mouth and lingers a very long time.

Wine Spectator
Toasted hazelnut, salted caramel and dark chocolate–covered coffee bean flavors are bold and intense, set on a smooth and silky frame, but with plenty of freshness to stand up to the sweetness. Spice and tobacco notes linger. Drink now through 2028.
