Grapes: 100 % Moscato bianco
Characteristics: The vineyard’s distinctive qualities are brought out clearly in the wine’s lovely straw-yellow colouring with golden highlights, but above-all in the explosion of aromas that are strongly reminiscent of the smell of the muscat grapes the wine is made from: in particular hints of ripe pear, white peach, honey, locust tree, linden and orange blossom, sage and lemon. Thickness shows mainly on the palate, with a mouth-filling sensation that nicely balances the sharp freshness and remaining pétillant prickle of the fermentation. Highly persistent, it clearly conjures up the light and warmth of just-picked bunches of ripe muscat grapes. Pairings: Very enjoyable on its own, it is also a perfect match for many types of dessert, including elaborate sweets. (0,5 l)

Ham bacon butchery Hell, finest, fragrantly, spicy smoking bacon speck.
Our Golden Muscat is a fine, aromatic dessert wine with a yellow to golden color. Pleasant aromas of musk roses overlay a markedly sweet structure. Ethereal essences of citrus fruits and baked apples arise as the wine opens. This dessert wine is an ideal partner to beignets, strudel and cake, and, in its drier embodiment, as an aperitif.
