Belle Pente Dry Muscat 06

Belle Pente Muscat is made in a tiny amount. It is an Alsacian styled dry Muscat. It's crisply refreshing, with an intense floral nose and hints of flowers in the flavor.

Brian expresses his thoughts on Muscat: "Ever since visiting Alsace in 1995, we have wanted to make wine from all 4 of the varietals grown in the "Grand Cru" Vineyards. We started with Pinot Gris in 1996, added Riesling in 1998, then Gewurztraminer in 2003, and now Muscat! Last summer our friends Mark and Jill from Stag Hollow approached us about a partnership on their small blocks of Early Muscat and Muscat Ottonel, and we jumped at the opportunity! So here you have it. A bone dry aperitif or table wine (the Alsatians say it goes great with asparagus!) with the intense, crazy, floral Muscat aromatics that defy description. Ready for the asparagus season! "
