Muscat

Dry Muscat from Alsace. It smells exactly like a bunch of fresh grapes, then drinks bone dry with a faint prickle. Nothing like Moscato.

Most people hear Muscat and expect something sweet. This one is dry. It comes from the Binner family in Ammerschwihr, who have farmed there since 1770 and whose soils have never seen chemicals. It smells of fresh grapes with a touch of ginger, then drinks dry and lively with a faint natural spritz. It is aged for up to two years in hundred-year-old oak casks and bottled with nothing added.
