Description of the wine Muscat Herrenweg de Turckheim 1997
Blend from Muscat Ottonel (80%) and Muscat d’Alsace (20%) from vineyards planted in 1946 and 1967 on the richest part of the Herrenweg vineyard in Turckheim. This wine was harvested at a very high level of ripeness, but like a lot of 97s, it did ferment totally dry. Today, it might be difficult for an ‘apéritif’, but will replace easily a gewurztraminer on a more spicy dish ! It is a very fruity wine with a well structured and powerful palate.
