Muscat de Rivesaltes 2022

White Wine / France / Roussillon / AOP Muscat de Rivesaltes / 16 % vol.

This Muscat is a Vin doux Naturel (Vdn) which stands for naturally made sweet wine. During fermentation, a neutral alcohol is added to halt the activity of the yeast producing alcohol from sugar, creating a fortified wine.

This wine is crafted from Muscat d’Alexandrie grapes and Muscat Petits Grains grapes and it is a rich and flavourful dessert wine. The aromatic nose offers a blend of exotic fruits and citrus, while the palate is a true delight of sweetness that is perfectly balanced by bright, vibrant acidity.

Traditionally enjoyed in France as a starter wine with foie gras, this wine is perfect as an aperitif and fits well with strong blue cheese.
