Kuentz-Bas Muscat Tradition 2010

Kuentz-Bas Muscat Tradition, a fresher collection focusing on fruit character, fermented and aged on the lees in oak foudre for 6-8 months. 

VINIFICATION: The grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The still wines age on the fine lees for at least six months and are racked the following summer according to the cycles of the moon before being bottled for the second fermentation. The bottles are stored for at least ten months, during which the second fermentation is completed and the wine continues to gain complexity and roundness from the contact with its fine lees.

BLEND: 65% Muscat Ottonel, 35% Muscat d’Alsace. VINE AGE: 25 - 45 years
