Rimfire Musque
This is a medium dry wine made from wonderfully aromatic white grape varietal Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. The nose gives a sensation of sweetness and floral musk/rose characters highlight the spicy orange blossom notes found in the finished wine. Intense, delicate, fruitiness lingers on the palate finishing crisp and clean. Serve with delicate foods, so as not to overpower the charming aromatics of the wine. Enjoy Rimfire Musqué with fine friends, food and conversation.

Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains (which translates as ‘ Muscat with small berries) is possibly the oldest and noblest wine grape varietal. It was established in France by the Romans, and may even have been brought to Marseilles by the Greeks before that. As the name suggests, its berries are tiny and produce wines with elegantly floral aromatics.

If you enjoyed our Musqué try our fragrant, rare Aleatico or traditional rosé Tinta .

Rimfire Aleatico
Made in vin gris style, this superb white wine is crafted from Rimfire's deliciously fragrant rare Aleatico red Muscat grapes. Our Aleatico is a medium-dry wine exhibiting delicate, spicy perfume, complimented by floral and citrus characters on the palate. There is just a hint of salmon-pink colour derived from the dark skins of the berries. Rimfire Aleatico works well with Asian influenced dishes. Enjoy it young and gently chilled.

Aleatico is an ancient Italian red grape variety thought by some to be a dark-berried mutation of the classic Muscat à Petits Grains. Others consider Sangiovese to be the more logical ancestor . However, DNA testing has not conclusively proven its lineage. In the Rimfire vineyard, Aleatico produces genuinely delicious grapes. They make great eating, but even better wine. Rimfire's Aleatico is crafted in vin gris style – as a white wine from a red grape – a wine style for which we are well-known.

If you enjoyed Rimfire Aleatico, try our traditional rosé Tinta or the delightfully aromatic Muscat à Petits Grains varietal Musqué.

Rimfire Hogs Head

Deep cherry red in colour, this medium bodied wine is soft and approachable. A spicy, peppery nose leads to full flavoured red berry palate with subtle hints of smoky vanilla. Noted for its long, smooth finish and lingering flavours, Hog's Head is fabulous with robust pastas, braised meats and hearty beef stews. This is a wine best enjoyed within two to three years of vintage.

Named after the 300 litre American oak barrel used to mature the wine, Hog's Head has become one of Rimfire's most sought after wines. In keeping with Rimfire's adventurous spirit, the name was inspired by a scene from Mark Twain's classic novel Tom Sawyer , in which rogue character Huck Finn sleeps in a Hog's Head barrel.

If you enjoyed our Hogs Head try Rimfire Shiraz. For an easy-drinking white wine alternative, try our semi-dry Musqué
