Aus den Gärten, Gelber Muskateller trocken 2021

Tasting note

Info:

Every year a miracle of balance between alcohol, acidity and sugar. 11% vol. with 7.3g/l acidity and only 1.2g/l residual sugar are absolutely exciting values.

A pure, natural wine without additives.

After six months of maturation, the wine is bottled on a fruit day according to the lunar calendar.

Color:

Pale straw yellow with light and green reflections

Nose:

One of my favourites in tastings year after year. The nose is so wonderfully varied. Coriander, mint and lemongrass transport you to the cuisine of the Far East. There is also plenty of fennel, aniseed and nettle. Some lychee, lemon and grapefruit provide a pleasantly fruity flavour. This is complemented by fresh pears and green apples.

Palate:

This Muscat is far removed from kitsch and fruit. Completely unflavoured and therefore enormously exciting. It is taut and stony, supported by a present acidity structure and with plenty of length. Its finesse is present and straight as a die. The fruit is barely noticeable and has no chance of becoming boring. It is far too racy for that. The ethereal nuances give it a freshness kick or two.

Food pairing suggestions

• Thai papaya and mango salad with chicken (poultry)
• Lentil salad with peppers and mint (Vegetable & Vegetarian)
• Halibut sashimi with kohlrabi and apple vinaigrette and spelt crunch (fish)
