Muscat is a very popular aperitif in the Alsace region for a good reason, it pairs well with asparagus, salad, scallop, fish terrine, mushrooms and Asian food.

Two types of Muscat grapes are grown in the Alsace region, Muscat d’Alsace and Muscat Ottonel. Muscat is so difficult to grow and its yield so varied, that many growers have given up on it – its area of cultivation is now only about 2% of Alsace’s wine area. Muscat d’Alsace is very aromatic and acidic. Muscat Ottonel is an early ripening low acid variety, less fruity, but also less sensitive. Muscat grapes are picked by hand in early October. The wine is made in chilled steel tanks at a temperature of 18 °C and bottled in early spring after the season.

Dry, with medium acidity, peachy, notes of lychee plum, ripe notes of citrus, floral, lightly spicy.
