MUSCAT 2019
This fruity and very aromatic wine is par excellence the wine of spring. Moreover, it explodes in aromas of ripe grapes. It is said to be crunchy, in short, it is like biting into a bunch of grapes...
The vintage
2018, vintage of great heat wave.
The Muscats have a very nice aromatic intensity, as often in very hot years.
Location
Muscat represents less than 2% of our vineyard. We exploit 3 plots of land located mainly in the commune of Nothalten. The soils are light with a slight slope. The warmth is favorable for a good maturation of the grapes.
In the vineyard
Harvested by machine at the end of the day, the destemmed grapes macerate in the bin overnight so that the juice can absorb the aromas present in the skin of the berries.
Vinification
The pressing of 4 hours the following morning still allows a release of aromas which embalms the grape harvest.
Cold settling, filtration of the very aromatic must.
Spontaneous fermentation for 3 weeks.
Ageing
Aged until spring in stainless steel tanks.
