About

Product Description:

"Ethereal would be the best word to describe this Muscat. Light and elegant, this Muscat is explosive on the nose, with orange flowers, lemon, and peach. On the palate, this wine has just a hint of sweetness, making it a pure and delicious wine, balanced out with acidity and minerality. Muscat is a much maligned grape, but this wonderful effort should change your mind!"

"Jean-Marie Bechtold is the fourth generation to steward this traditional domaine. He began working with his father in 1980 and took the reins in 1995. Domaine Bechtold is the only organic grower in Dahlenheim and Jean-Marie Bechtold is currently making the conversion to biodynamic viticulture. He minimizes intervention during the vinification to allow the wines to express their own character and to remain faithful to the vintage. Virtually all fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks with the objective of capturing the fresh acidity and typical dry style of the region. The style is light, pure and elegant." -Importer
