Information about the wine

Velue is the old name of the village of Velm-Goetzendorf and also of the willows that grow along the village’s streams. The Muscat Blanc à Petit Grains is a selection of all of Zillinger’s Muscat vineyards. The grapes were harvested by hand on September 12, 2022, stomped with the feet, and left on the skins for six hours. The wine was then pressed and fermented spontaneously. The wine was aged on the lees in large used tonneaux and in stainless steel for seven months. The wine was bottled in March 2023 with 35 mg total sulfur, 3.1 pH, and 1 gram of residual sugar.

Colour

Slightly cloudy, light straw yellow

Nose

The aroma of the Velue Muscat is dominated by notes of jasmine, lilac, and rose. The floral notes combine with citrus and limequat zest and juice, some green and yellow apple, lichen on wet stone, and dried herbs.

Palate

On the palate, the Muscat is playfully light and juicy, then serious with a fine, zesty, and tart note of bitter orange peel, herbs, and rock. The acidity seems ripe and initially rather restrained, but quickly picks up momentum and becomes increasingly present towards the finish. It provides the agility in this wine, while the grapes’ maceration has given the wine its tactile quality.
