Description of the wine Muscat Grand Cru Goldert 1998
The Goldert Muscat is made 80% from the old Muscat d’Alsace grape. The wine is rich, totally dry and shows strong mineral character, typical from the pure calcareous soil. Still closed today, it will benefit from aeration to show all its fruit.
The Goldert Grand Cru of Gueberschwihr
The Goldert of Gueberschwihr is the only locality in Alsace where the geological substratum is composed solely of marine oolithic limestone. Traditionally, the majority of the Goldert is planted to Gewurztraminer and Muscat. These grape varieties are reputed for producing wines with great finesse, structure and a discreet, however complex, bouquet.
