RHONA MUSCADEL
VARIETY:
100% Muscat de Frontignan
VINTAGE:
CELLAR:
Robertson Cellar
AREA OF ORIGIN:
Robertso, South Africa.
VINEYARD:
Single vineyard of 1.6ha, 26-year-old vineyards,
producing 5.5 tons per hectare.
HARVEST DETAILS:
Hand picked early morning on 5 March 2004, at a sugar level of 26°B.
VINIFICATION:
The grapes are lightly crushed, destalked and left on the skins for natural enzymatic fermentation. After 3 days of fermentation approximately 3% of
natural alcohol was formed. The fermentation was then arrested with the addition of neutral grape spirit. This approach helps to express the beautiful grape flavour of Muscat de Frontignan. The wine was then stored in a stainless steel tank for 3 years for the grape flavours and spirits to integrate prior to bottling.
TASTING NOTES:
“Rich straw colour with delicate orange rind flavours and grapey
freshness on the palate. Nice hints of marzipan character on the
palate. The wine has an amazing rich lengthy finish.”
