Goldmuskateller is one of South Tyrol's oldest grape varieties, which until a few years ago was still regarded as temperamental and demanding. Manincor demonstrates what this diva is capable of when given the right sites: Mareit Leiten at 350 metres, extremely steep and south-facing with warm gravelly soils and moraine deposits. Added to this are Vogelleiten and Panholzer, with loamy limestone gravel soil – sites where the Muskateller's exuberant growth is tamed and it reaches perfect ripeness. The destemmed berries macerate for twelve hours in the press to extract aroma and structure from the skins. Fermentation takes place in wooden barrels and steel tanks, largely spontaneously with wild yeasts. During the five-month ageing on the fine lees, the aroma and flavour refine – the wine develops that balance between fruit and minerality which characterises dry Muskateller.

Bright straw-yellow in the glass. Delicate aromas of nutmeg, cedarwood and grapefruit. On the palate, it is fruity, juicy and mineral, with a lingering finish. The completely dry finish (0.6 g/l residual sugar) showcases the Muskateller at its most elegant – no sweetness, but clear aromatic precision. Serve chilled as an aperitif, with Asian cuisine or with strong hard cheeses. SUPERIORE.DE

"Grapes in a glass. They say you should eat fruit and vegetables five times a day. Our cheerfully vibrant Goldmuskateller, made from sun-drenched grapes – served at just the right temperature – is a real treat!"Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

"A Muscat profile full of honey and white blossoms. Light-bodied, though not watery, with moderate acidity and a crisp finish. Perfect as an aperitif." James Suckling

"Crystal clear minerality runs through like spring water while the palate brings the outdoor vibes: herbs and pine notes flow into a citrus medley finish. Pure mountain refreshment." Wine Enthusiast
