Tasting

Straw yellow. Animating, floral, fine. Fragrant – a real composition: yellow peach, nutmeg, mandarin and ripe grapes directly picked from the vine, lemon candy, ethereal. Intensive and inviting. Fruity prospects – a bouquet in the very sense of the word!Dry, balanced and chiselled. Elegant finesse and silky texture, fine Muscat spiciness. White flowers and a subtle finish of elder blossoms, accompanied by some anise and fennel seeds. A classy Muscat from silicate soils in Rust – year for year. Distinctive with its slight touch of lemon. And that´s what people here know for centuries!

Pairing

Roscoff onion tarte Tatin with corn salad and sheep milk cheese, partridge breast with celery. As animating aperitif before a private concert by Ostbahnkurti. A wonderful companion to a finely herb-flavoured cuisine, stewed tomatoes with laurel, terrines of goat milk cheese, light salads, fennel breadsticks. And be honest: would you turn down a nice Muscat-spritzer? Harmonious, fruity flatterer with an obsessive potential.
