Two Hands Fait Accompli Rare Muscat is a remarkable non-vintage fortified Muscat, aged for more than 40 years in barrel and lovingly nurtured over time to create a wine of depth, elegance and extraordinary complexity. Rich, smooth and definitively refined, this rare fortified wine showcases the beauty of patient maturation, careful barrel selection and the enduring character of premium Australian Muscat.

In the glass, Fait Accompli delivers layers of intense dried fruit, raisin, fig, treacle, toffee, roasted nuts, warm spice, dark caramel and aged rancio complexity, all balanced by freshness and poised acidity. Its long barrel ageing brings incredible concentration, seamless texture and a lingering, luxurious finish that continues to unfold slowly.

Fait Accompli is more than a wine, it is an experience. A contemplative after-dinner pour, a special occasion wine or a treasured gift for the fortified wine lover, it rewards slow sipping and quiet moments. Best enjoyed in a small glass, sipped and swirled, either on its own or paired with dark chocolate, blue cheese or a fine cigar.

Tasting Notes

COLOUR | Deep mahogany with some amber, tawny hues.

AROMA | Tight lively dried fruit notes, plum pudding and spice. Fresh floral and fruit shortbread mixed with fresh rancio characters and soft dusty oak.

PALATE | Mouthfuls of fresh dried fruit; soft yet has an incredible mouth-coating viscosity. Deep rich caramel and rancio characters run through the palate complementing the layers of sweetness, acid and fine tannins. Finally, the high quality spirit is balanced and provides wonderful and reassuring warmth.

Vinification

WINEMAKING | Every year the fruit from the Brown and White Muscat (frontignac) blocks is left to hang through the course of the growing season to slowly allow the flavours to concentrate and sugar to rise. When the fruit is picked the sugar level is roughly 30-32 baume with wonderful rich flavours. The fruit is processed and fortified with high quality neutral spirit and then matured in old oak. Over time as the ‘angels’ share’ is taken from the barrels, the flavours and sugar concentrate over time even further.

MATURATION | Prior to bottling, the parcels that give an average age of over 40 years are carefully blended resulting in a wine of great complexity and length. The material used to blend the Rare Fait Accompli is exquisite and unique due to its age. After patiently waiting, for over 40 years in many cases, the richness and complexity is second to none.
