Muscato

Created to enjoy. The first harvest of Muscat grapes are immediately further processed and fermented in pressure tanks. A highly aromatic and very light sparkling wine results which derives its carbon dioxide exclusively from fermentation.

Description

Pale straw with slight greenish reflections, fine mousse, lingering. Intensive bouquet of juicy-ripe pineapples, mango, blooming elder, buckthorn and dirndl. Delicate hints of Muscat. Delicious fruit sweetness, crisp, even thrilling acidity, creamy carbonic acid, seductive and refreshing at the same time. Be careful – a dangerous fruit bomb!

Accompanying ideas

As aperitif as well as together with aroma-intensive Asian dishes, a perfect companion for brunches, to fruit salads and fruit desserts, pieces of mango covered by chocolate, basil and citrus sorbets and fried elder blossoms. In addition it serves as “repairing wine” and “bracer” or just as “company” of the three already emptied Moscato-bottles, and so on….

Technical specification

Perlwein “mild” (sparkling wine ”mild”) is the legal name for a sparkling wine which has a residual sugar of more than 50g/l and an alcoholic content of less than 9% alc.vol. – that’s why our Muscato does not belong to the “Sekt” – category!

Serving temperature 6 - 7 °C
Harvest took place in the beginning of September, early in the morning when it was still “chilly”.
Processing Immediately after harvesting the grapes were processed in an effective and perfectly clean manner under permanent temperature-control. Fining of the must by means of a rotary vacuum filter, fermentation in pressure tanks at a temperature of 16° C; at an alcoholic strength of 7% alc.vol. fermentation was interrupted by cooling down the must.
