Muscat dāAlsace is a distinguished grape varietal celebrated for its remarkable aromatic intensity and purity. Displaying a fresh, highly expressive bouquet, it is instantly recognisable with notes of fresh grapes, white flowers, citrus blossom and nuanced hints of spice. On the palate, Muscat dāAlsace is typically dry, vibrant and intensely fruity, offering finesse and a crisp, refreshing acidity that accentuates its characteristic flavours of grape, pear and subtle herbal undertones.
Principally cultivated in the Alsace region of north-eastern France, Muscat dāAlsace thrives in the regionās diverse soils and cool continental climate, which enhances its aromatic precision. While a small proportion of Muscat vines are used to produce dessert wines, the majority of Muscat dāAlsace wines are vinified in a dry style, making them unique among the worldās Muscats.
The typical styles range from light, aromatic dry whites to richer, more expressive expressions in exceptional vintages. Esteemed for its ability to complement challenging dishes, Muscat dāAlsace pairs particularly well with asparagus, fresh salads, goatās cheese and light fish dishes. Its lively freshness also makes it an inspired choice with Asian cuisine and as an elegant aperitif.
