Stanton & Killeen Rutherglen Topaque NV 500ml from Rutherglen is a golden, honeyed fortified in the classic Aussie Tokay style, offering caramel, tea and nutty depth in a compact bottle that is perfect for after‑dinner sipping. This Rutherglen Topaque NV is pure comfort in a glass.

On the nose you are looking at toffee, honeycomb and butterscotch, with notes of roasted nuts, black tea, candied citrus and a touch of crème brûlée. The palate is luscious and sweet yet beautifully balanced, with layers of caramel, malt, dried fruits and nutty rancio complexity wrapped in a silky texture, finishing warm, long and satisfying rather than cloying.

This Stanton & Killeen Rutherglen Topaque NV 500ml is a beaut match for crème brûlée, bread‑and‑butter pudding, sticky date pudding, vanilla slice or buttery pastries, and it also shines alongside blue cheese, aged cheddar and a plate of roasted nuts at the end of a cool Adelaide evening.
