Muscat Turckheim 2024
Trade Tools
France / Vins D'Alsace
This is primarily from Muscat Petit Grain (Muscat d'Alsace) which thrives in this area and where it ripens early thereby retaining acidity while avoiding high alcohol, resulting in a very dry wine without excessive power.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage will certainly be remembered as an unusual one which defied climate change. Rainfall was 30% to 50% above average and extremely high temperatures were largely avoided. Well-drained soils were key to our consistent fermentations.
Tasting Note
Led by inviting floral and bergamot aromas and with a delicate and enticing palate, this refreshing dry white is framed by subtle acidity and is an ideal casual wine.

About the Grape
Muscat Ottonel
Muscat Ottonel is the most delicate member of the Vitis Vinifera Muscat family in terms of color, aroma and flavor. Sensitive to noble rot, Muscat Ottonel is often used in late harvest or dessert wines.
