Alsace Muscat 2022

Semi-dry wine

Grape variety
A harmonious blend of muscat d’Alsace, the most aromatic, and muscat ottonel, finer and more delicate.

Vineyard
A blend of several parcels from both sides of the Zellenberg hill.
Tillage: ploughing, composting, mowing.

Terroir
Clay, marl, sometimes limestone and sandy hills in the Zellenberg region.

Winemaking
Harvested by hand. Sorting in the vineyard. Short skin maceration on the press to extract aromas. No sulfur under the press. Natural sourdough. Aged on fine lees for 6-9 months. Filtration.

Tasting and gastronomy
Fine, powerful nose. Supple on the attack, powerful and fruity on the palate. Gourmet finish. Wine for pleasure and aperitif. In spring, it’s perfect with white asparagus, salmon tartar or a warm goat’s cheese salad. In summer, it’s an aperitif wine to be enjoyed well chilled.
