Terre Rouge Muscat-à-Petits Grains, Shenandoah Valley

Terre Rouge Muscat-à-Petits Grains, Shenandoah Valley Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: Our only dessert wine was inspired by the delicious fresh fortified Muscats of southern France. This is Muscat that isn’t overly sweet. It would be appropriate as an apéritif, but, mainly, we like it as an accompaniment to a desserts like a fresh berry clafoutis or a pear tart with ginger and almonds. Flowery, muscaty/honeyed bouquet with hints of coconut and lush fruity flavors. Try it by itself, for a memorable end to a great evening meal. Harvested, ripe, at 27° brix and fortified to arrest fermentation with high-proof Muscat brandy made from the same vineyard site. Aged nine months in neutral French oak and bottled in the Suummer following harvest.
