LightCatcher Orange Muscat

LightCatcher Orange Muscat Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: Newsom Vineyard. Texas High Plains appellation. This is an Alsatian-styled Orange Muscat, which means it is dry (no sugar). It delivers clean tropical flavors of papaya, apricot and citrus. It is absolutely delicious with duck, roast pork and sausages, cheddar cheeses, middle-eastern and Thai foods, and most cream-sauced foods. Currently we are the only winery in Texas that we are aware of that is making a DRY Orange Muscat. Based on the response to it, we'll continue to do it. It is a wonderful food wine and delivers lots of entertainment value in the intensity and complexity of the flavors. It was taken by the Texas Department of Agriculture to a wine tasting in Manhattan where they invited wine and food writers (Food & Wine, Gourmet, Conde Nast, etc.) to blind taste Texas wines against world-class ringers - in this case a Bott Freres Grand Cru Muscat - and won!!
