Our Muscat is made from moscato giallo grapes, the "yellow muscat" traditionally found in the Alto-Adige region of Northeast Italy. This rare variety has a slightly different floral aspect than the more ubiquitous Muscat Blanc au petits grains. With aromas of lavender and white flower, it also possesses a discreet herbal quality that prevents it from being “too pretty,” and displays the beautiful crystalline mineral aspect of the Monterey soils in which it was grown.

Pale yellow color with light gold highlights; bright floral notes of honeysuckle, lilac, and orange blossom bring to mind a perfumed spring garden at dusk. Ripe peach, melon, and yellow apple combine with citrus zest and spearmint on the palate. A brilliant and refreshing apéritif and a superb complement to seafood, poultry, charcuterie and cheeses, and Asian cuisine.
