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, with an extremely steep south-facing slope featuring warm gravelly soils and moraine deposits. Added to this are Vogelleiten and Panholzer, with loamy limestone gravel soils – sites where the Muscat's exuberant growth is tamed and perfect ripeness is achieved. 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 become more refined – and the wine develops that balance between fruit and minerality which characterises dry Muscat wines.

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 flavour. The completely dry finish (0.4 g/l residual sugar) showcases the Muscat's elegant side – no sweetness, but clear aromatic precision. Serve chilled as an aperitif, with Asian cuisine or with strong hard cheeses. SUPERIORE.DE
