Muskateller Buntsandstein 2024

Wine Description for Muskateller Buntsandstein 2024 by Michael Andres

Colour & Appearance

Delicate golden yellow with silvery reflections, clear and luminous in the glass.

Nose

An explosive aromatic bouquet that immediately demands attention: intense notes of apricot and passion fruit, alongside blackcurrant and delicate elderflower. With air contact, wild herbs and fresh grass develop, embedded in precise minerality and peppery spice that lends the wine remarkable depth.

Palate

Juicy and precise – here Michael Andres‘ signature shines through. The vibrant acidity and pronounced minerality give the wine structure and tension. With just 10.5% alcohol, the Muskateller feels feather-light and refreshing, without losing its varietal aromatics. Andres achieves the feat of avoiding any heaviness, instead creating a colourful, intoxicating wine that combines elegance with drinkability.

Finish

Medium-length with lingering minerality and a hint of citrus spice that invites the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

The name reveals it: Buntsandstein soils define this Muskateller from the Palatinate. This geological formation imparts the wine’s characteristic minerality and spice, which harmonises perfectly with the aromatic grape variety.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Muskateller, vinified with a clear focus on freshness and precision. The deliberately low alcohol content underscores Andres‘ philosophy of creating drinkable wines with character – without compromise on expression and complexity.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Ideal with dishes featuring exotic influences: Thai curries, Vietnamese summer rolls, ceviche or scallops with passion fruit vinaigrette. Also an exciting pairing with pan-fried asparagus with herbs or goat’s cheese salad with apricots.

Special Features

An anti-cliché Muskateller that proves this often underestimated grape variety is capable of great finesse. Perfect for those who love aromatic wines but value precision and drinkability.
