With the first real harvest from these vines, they weren’t sure what to do. Julia had her ideas, KP his and Felix his. And so they tried different things. About a third was fermented on the skins, a third saw just a bit of skin contact, and roughly a third was direct pressed. Muskateller is fragrant and aromatic, it can be intense, it can be light or dense, airy or rather plush. In other words, it can be a lot of things and they wanted to learn about what this new parcel of Muskateller had to say.

After trying each of the wines, they decided to do an equal blend, to see how it worked together; and this was the uncontested star of the show. It was no question.

It is a singular wine, in some ways grandiose, ambitious, extraordinary… and in other ways, simply a pure, mineral-water inspired beverage that recalls gardens and rainstorms, dark, shade-dappled mountain streams.

Bone dry, and clocking in at only 10% alcohol, the wine is racy, bouncy, needle-fine and incisive, superbly detailed with citrus and a sweet-spicy florality, like orange blossoms and lavender, freshly cut tulip stalks and lilac. Yet the wine has restraint, focus, a lovely and polished mineral spine, even a good amount of salinity crackling around.

It walks a fine, fine line… freshness and exuberance.
