2025 Muscat Ottonel
Muscat Ottonel was the variety planted at the Hillside farm in 1983 and has been a favorite here for some 30 years. This wine has lovely floral aromas and hints of spice.
About this wine
The Muscat family numbers over 200, and Ottonel is a particularly floral, refreshing member. After a gap year, the recovering vines enjoyed one of our warmest
summers on record and our second earliest harvest ever on September 8. Handled gently to preserve its delicate aromatics, the fruit was destemmed and given overnight skin contact before draining/pressing off skins and cold settling. The juice was allowed a long, slow fermentation in stainless steel.
