2022 Muscat Ottonel

Muscat Ottonel was the first white variety planted at the Hillside farm (1984), and has been a favorite here for some 30 years.

About this wine

The Muscat family numbers over 200, and Ottonel is a particularly floral, refreshing member.  Hand harvested late September at 22 Brix. Handled gently to preserve its delicate aromatics, the fruit was de-stemmed and givenovernight skin contact before draining/pressing off skins and cold settling. The juice was allowed a long slow fermentation in stainless steel. This wine has lovely floral aromas and hints of spice.
