The Kientzler family has cultivated a magnificent vineyard in Ribeauvillé for five generations. Thierry and Eric Kientzler continue the work of their father on nearly 14 ha. The line of conduct has not changed, the wines are dry, racy, and sometimes marked by the typical austerity of the Ribeauvillé area; one should not be impatient with these whites, which age well.

Presentation
This Muscat is a blend of Muscat d'Alsace and Muscat Ottonel. The Muscat d'Alsace gives the wine its typical, powerful aroma, while the Muscat Ottonel adds finesse and precision.
The wine contains a natural deposit of tartaric acid, which does not alters its quality.

Tasting
Highly aromatic, it perfectly expresses the flavor of fresh fruit. The palate is perfectly dry, saline and crisp. The explosiveness of the aromas combined with the finesse of the fruit make this Muscat a perfect companion for aperitif(s).
