2023 Muscat Ottonel
Muscat Ottonel was the variety planted at the Hillside farm in 1983 and has been a favorite here for some 30 years. The Muscat family numbers over 200, and Ottonel is a particularly floral, refreshing member. This wine has lovely floral aromas and hints of spice.
About this wine
After a warm summer, our earliest harvest ever on September 6th. Hand harvested late September at 22.3 brix. Handled gently to preserve its delicate aromatics, the fruit was de-stemmed and given overnight skin contact before draining/pressing off skins and cold settling. The juice was allowed a long slow fermentation in stainless steel.
