ageing : Enjoy now or drink within one year after bottling.
in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from three trellised vineyard blocks located between 5 and 10 km from the cellar. The vines, grafted on Richter 99 rootstock, are between 10 - 15 years old and grow in clayey, stony soils. Irrigation is applied according to soil moisture levels, as measured by Neutron probes. All three blocks are extensively managed to ensure full ripeness and the best quality grapes.
about the harvest: The grapes for this gentle, muscat-scented, semi-sweet wine were harvested fully ripe to ensure optimal flavour.

The grapes were picked in the coolness of the early morning and kept under cool conditions until pressing.
in the cellar : Blend: Muscat d'Frontignan, Chenin Blanc and Muscat d'Alexandrië

Skin contact was allowed for 24 hours at a temperature of between 10° - 12° C under a layer of carbon dioxide to protect the juice from oxidation. The free-running juice was then racked and settled. Fermentation followed after inoculation with a selected yeast strain. The winemakers stopped the fermentation at 1° Balling to give this wine a natural residual sugar of almost 20g/lt. After protein- and cold stabilisation the wine was bottled.
