Winery & Vintage Info
Since the first grapes were harvested in the 1850s, Rutherglen has been recognised for producing fortified wines of unique quality and unsurpassed richness, the Muscats and Topaques of Rutherglen.
These unique wines result from a combination of factors – the climate, grape variety, soils, the blending skills of the winemaker and the stocks of these wines reserved by past generations. The region continues to receive international acclaim for the ‘world’s richest wines’ from wine writers, merchants and consumers alike.
Campbells is one of Rutherglen’s original muscat and topaque producers and has developed a ‘house style’ that is complex and elegant, capturing a rich purity of fruit flavours while finishing clean and dry.
The art of making, blending and maturing these wines has been passed down to succeeding generations since Campbells was established in 1870. At Campbells, we use a modified solera system to age our Muscats and Topaques to ensure consistency of quality. There is a solera for each of the classifications of Muscat and Topaque with the ‘rare solera’ containing the wines of four generations of Campbells.
