Yellow Muscat 2019

Yellow Muscat 2019

Wine Description

The colour is paler with lemon golden hue. Pronounced on the nose, with youthful, clearly defined character of Muscat grapes. At the back, we can detect bit of honey, dried apricots, and spices like nutmeg. Very dry, lighter bodied, with plenty of taste. Acidities are clearly marked ant there is a very long muscaty aftertaste. The wine is very drinkable as and can go very well with various dishes. A classy, typical Muscat from our region.
