Mr Wolf Liqueur Muscat

A$48.00

Deep amber brown. In a nutshell this is Christmas cake in a glass. Glace cherries, cinnamon, brandy and hazelnuts. On the palate it is rich and luscious with raisins, dried fruit toffee and vanilla bean.

Ange’s father‑in‑law, Malcolm “Dick” Townsend, kept a cherished barrel of muscat behind his bar—regularly topping it up with wine from his good friend, John Patritti. When Dick passed away at age 80, a new generation of Townsends became custodians of that same muscat barrel.

Today, the legacy has grown into our own three‑level solera system, with barrels of different sizes and stages of maturation—carrying forward a tradition that connects our families across generations.

Type: Fortified Wine
Variety: Muscat Blanc
Appellation: McLaren Vale

Once opened keep your wine standing in an upright position and a cool dark spot. Liqueur muscat can be kept for many years in a partially filled bottle without going off.
Famously known as The Yodelling Cowboy, was one of Australia’s popular radio-era entertainers. He rose to national fame after winning Australia's Amateur Hour, a hugely successful radio talent quest that ran from 1940 to 1958.
At its peak in the 1940s, Australia’s Amateur Hour was described as “the largest radio show of all” — a program that captivated listeners across the country. Families gathered around their wireless sets each week to hear new performers compete for public votes, making it one of the defining entertainment programs of its era.
Townsend’s signature style combined:
- Traditional Swiss-style yodelling
- Western “cowboy” performance flair
- Light popular ballads of the 1940s–50s
One of his well-known recordings is “Swiss Mountaineer”, showcasing the clear alpine-style yodels that made him distinctive.
