Description of the wine Muscat Herrenweg de Turckheim 1998
The association of the precocious gravelly soil and the old vines (50years old) dominated by muscat Ottonel helped to produce a fruity and aromatic wine, entirely dry with an elegant and delicate structure. Less alcoholic than the other 1998’s, the Muscat Herrenweg will be a pleasurable wine to drink in its youth.
