Description

Product description for Hajszan Neumann Natural Muskateller 2022 (bio)

The Muskateller Natural comes from the Neuberg vineyard on Vienna’s Nussberg. The soil consists of calcareous shell limestone with limestone in the subsoil. Since 2015, Hajszan Neumann has been vinifying mash-fermented white wines without intervention. The grapes were selectively harvested by hand, mashed, and spontaneously fermented in amphorae. In March, the wine was racked and transferred to a stainless steel tank for a further six weeks of maturation. After four months in the bottle, the wine was released unfined and unfiltered.

Colour

Rich straw yellow with light orange reflections and a subtle, satiny opacity.

Nose

It’s no secret that mash fermentation suits aromatic varieties particularly well. The distinct Muscat notes are clearly recognizable, but appear domesticated by fermentation and spicier and more focused upon exposure to oxygen. Nutmeg, Muscat grape, mace, and rose scent outline the floral aromas, complemented by allspice, clove, white pepper, and dried apple rings and quince.

Palate

On the palate, it oscillates between floral, fruity, and distinctively tart aromas. The fragrant components are grounded by the distinctively tart phenolic, which gives it the texture of a slightly over-coated Darjeeling. This could backfire, but it is exemplary in the 2022 Natural Muscat from Hajszan Neumann. Invigorating with slightly bitter tannins, it is clearly contoured and aromatically moves once again in the spicy rather than fragrant-floral direction.
