MUSCAT REIMAGINED

Explore the rich tradition of Rutherglen muscats alongside Scion's modern interpretation of this regional specialty.

Scion is a progressive winery with a strong sense of its heritage. Self-taught winemaker Rowly is a descendant of George Francis Morris, one of Australia's most renowned vignerons of the 19th Century. Scion's muscat grapevines were grafted with cuttings from the historic Fairfield Vineyard (first planted by Morris in the 1850s) and so the variety holds a special place in Rowly's focused range of handmade wines.
