Description of the wine Muscat Herrenweg de Turckheim 1999
This old vineyard over 50 years old produced very ripe grapes in 1999. The precocity of the Herrenweg associated with the warm and dry weather of September helped to produce a powerful and aromatic wine, with no heaviness and a clean, intense dry finish. The palate feels round and smooth. This wine was bottled without filtration and can show some deposits which do not alter the quality of the wine. It is recommended to decant this wine.
