Christian Binner Muscat Sec 750ml

A lovely dry muscat. Christian macerates half of the grapes for eight months, and direct presses the remaining half - bringing a textural complexity to this aromatic and mineral-rich, orange hued wine.

Winemaker’s Note: “2020 and 21 were climatically opposite and extreme vintages! I chose to blend these two vintages to achieve the balance and quality that thrill me.”  2020 was a warm, solar year for Alsace, while 21 was wet and challenging, with lower yields yet appealing acidity. Christian, therefore, decided to blend them together in this flavorsome cuvée!

Grapes: Muscat

Vineyard: Old Vines established on Loess, with limestone silt of Aeolian origin. Farmed organically, while practicing biodynamics and phytotherapy, as well as permaculture and regenerative agriculture.

Making of: The grapes are hand-harvested and manually sorted in the vineyard. Half of the bunches then undergo 8 months of maceration, before aging on the lees in century-old oak barrels in Christian’s bioclimatic cellar. Blended and bottled unfined and unfiltered, with no added sulfur.
