Graham Beck Robertson Muscat De Frontignan 1997
100% Muscat de Frontignan – The grapes were picked at 26?B just before raisin stage with enzymatic maceration on the skins. Natural fermentation by wild yeast followed. Developed 4% volume natural alcohol and then pressed and fortified with natural grape spirits. The wine rested for 8 months in a stainless steel tank for integration and then was then matured in small French oak for 5 years. Tasting note: Attractive colour with a limey green hue. Great nose, with wonderful grape flavour, true to Muscat. Creamy elegant fruit well supported by the nuttiness from the oak with a long lingering finish. This is a totally unique style in South Africa.
