"Yellow Muscat" by Matic Wines is a macerated wine based on 100% Yellow Muscat. The grapes come from 15-year-old vines found on soils rich in limestone in the Slovenian part of Styria. The grapes are destemmed, and the must is left in contact with the skins for 2-3 weeks, followed by fermentation in steel, where the wine ages for 6 months before bottling. Wine that tastes of tropical fruits, articulated and multifaceted, it is a wine that, after the first taste, is not easily forgotten. A must try.
