Very perfumed and floral on the nose as is typical for the varietal. One the palate, very creamy with a touch of butterscotch and quite viscous and concentrated – it coats your palate. Some peach and licorice notes are present as well. Finishes with rising acidity.

92pts Wine Enthusiast– 2017 vintage

“Tangy citrus zest on the nose comes with tender hints of Damask rose and honeysuckle. The palate convinces with its utter lightness and very dry style. Lasting and intense, this wine is great now but has enough concentration to go the distance. Drink until 2025.”

92pts James Suckling– 2017 vintage

“A subtle and dry muscat with delicate blossom aromas, plenty of citrusy freshness and a hint of bergamot. Pristine clarity and a very clean, long finish. Drink now or in 2019 and 2020. Made from biodynamically grown grapes.”
