Muscat & riesling sparkling wine

Bottle size: 0,75 L

Vintage: 2018

Majestic dance of welschriesling as a breeze of spring flowers with elegant muscat aroma of brisk freshness. As if floating, they help you fulfil great expectations.

Distinctive colour and taste
This wine is of gentle lemon-like colour. The bouquet is youthful, medium stressed, it smells of muscat grapes. When you drink it, the wine is dry, lighter, with pleasant bubbles; the muscat note loses its strength but is still present. Sparkling wine which was thought of really well and which exploits the characteristics of welschriesling as well as yellow muscat.

Elegance with enticing aroma
Served as aperitif with small snacks, cooled in ice it enchants us with its freshness. It goes well with poultry, cheese and dried meat. This wine is not perfect only on New Year's Eve, it is perfect in every moment of joy.

Harvest notes

The harvest of Welschrieslings took place in late September, and the harvest of Muscats in early September, with a short delivery time of grapes from the vineyard until the beginning of maceration for Muscat, Riesling was immediately pressed. The grapes are nurtured in a nature-friendly way, are strictly selected and are picked exclusively by hand.

Vinification

The primary fermentation of both varieties took place separately, with the typification of both varieties, the basis for secondary fermentation was prepared. Boiling liqueur is added to stimulate secondary fermentation. In the charmat method, everything takes place in steel tanks.
