Muscat

 Muscat Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: We make our Muscat dessert wine in the ice wine style except we picked our Muscat grapes at "normal" sugar levels that we would to make table wine. The grapes are then quickly frozen to 0°F, which removes much of the water while preserving the grapes' natural sugar and acid. The grapes are then pressed while still frozen. This unusual technique allows us to pick early while natural acidity is relatively high and we can precisely dial in the desired sugar level of the juice to be fermented. This way we avoid the potential of leaving defenseless grapes on the vine well into the rainy season, where rain, rot and rapidly degrading acidity can take their toll.
