The 2007 The Bothie is 100% Muscat Blanc in the style of a southern Rhone Muscat Beaumes-de-Venise. While drier and less viscous than its French cousin, it offers a pleasant floral and honeysuckle perfume, off dry fruity flavors, and good length. It should prove most useful as an aperitif on a hot summer day. Torbreck, under the leadership of owner/winemaker David Powell, remains a Barossa Valley benchmark as well as one of the world’s leading wine estates. The only cloud on the horizon concerns the winery’s ramped up production during a period of economic hard times.There are three white wines in the Torbreck portfolio.Importer: Jon Elkins, The Australian Wine Connection, Carlsbad, CA; www.torbreck.com
