R.L. Buller & Son NV Calliope Rare Tokay (Rutherglen)
- Editors' Choice
- $86
Just a tiny serving of this dark nectar will last a long time. The malty, porter-ish aromas intrigue, followed by incredibly rich and syrupy flavors accompanied by mouthwatering acids and enormous peristence. Layers of complexity gradually unfold in the glass, revealing hints of honey, caramel and beguiling rancio notes.

R.L. Buller & Son NV Calliope Rare Tokay (Rutherglen)
- Cellar Selection
- $120
Thick, dark brown and looking as much like molasses as wine, Buller’s Calliope Rare Tokay has a soy-like meatiness to it, a leathery note that adds complexity to its notes of treacle and rancio. Almost too sweet and syrupy, with an endless finish.

R.L. Buller & Son NV Rare Calliope Muscat (Rutherglen)
- $84
Rich and viscous, this glass-staining, deep brown wine is loaded with notes of coffee, toffee and dried fruit. Pronounced rancio character marks the nose and lingers on the long, complex finish.

R.L. Buller & Son NV Calliope Rare Muscat (Rutherglen)
- $86
This is dark, almost black in color at the center, with greening evident at the rim. Syrupy, intense aromas of coffee and dark chocolate make an immediate impact on the nose, followed by syrupy, intense flavors of coffee and molasses. There’s mind-boggling concentration here, but just enough acidity to provide a sense of balance. Still, it’s hard to imagine…

R.L. Buller & Son NV Fine Muscat (Victoria)
- Best Buy
- $15
Buller’s entry-level Muscat blend sourced from inside and outside Rutherglen itself is a terrific value. It’s perfumed yet full bodied and rich, with sweet notes of golden raisins and dried figs, as well as darker hints of dates and molasses.

R.L. Buller & Son NV Premium Fine Muscat (Victoria)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
Fragrant with berries and citrus, this Muscat is also syrupy sweet without being cloying. Hints of coffee and caramel provide a deeper, darker foundation on the palate, with bits of candied orange peel and chocolate on the finish.

R.L. Buller & Son NV Premium Fine Tokay (Victoria)
- $16
Buller’s top wines are from Rutherglen, but this entry-level Tokay carries the broader Victoria GI. There’s a blast of bergamot upfront, the penetrating citrus notes layered over tea leaves and caramel flavors. Viscous and mouthcoating, it finishes long and citrusy-sweet.
