Muscaris 2020 THIRSCH

Muscaris

New fungus-resistant grape variety (abbreviation PIWI)

Was bred at the Staatliches Weinbauinstitut Freiburg (DE) from the Solaris (♀) and Gelber Muskateller (♂) grape varieties.

Reduced environmental impact (80 to 90% less spraying agents).

Thirsch-Wines:

Thirsch wines are full-bodied, with an individual style and reflect our way of working with nature.
Thirsch is the historical name of our farm.

Weingarten:

5-11 year old vines grow on Opok soils.

“Opok” is a solidified sedimentary rock, formed by sea and river deposits.

The soil has a high clay content, can store heat well and offers the grapes optimal ripening conditions.

Vinification:

Short maceration time, fermented uncooled in stainless steel tanks, aged for 23 months on the fine lees. Bottled without filtration in September 2022.

BIOwine:

Flavor profile: Our Muscaris is reminiscent of nutmeg and grapefruit.
