ABOUT THIS WINE
The Neumeister Gelber Muskateller 2022 hails from the Vulkanland Steiermark DAC region in Austria, crafted from 100% Gelber Muskateller grapes. Weingut Neumeister, a family estate now in its third generation, is dedicated to organic farming and sustainable practices. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes with lean, calcareous soils, a legacy of the region's volcanic past. The Illyrian-Pannonian climate, with its substantial diurnal temperature variations, supports a long growing season, allowing for a late harvest that captures the grape's full aromatic potential and acidity.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Gelber Muskateller typically involves extended skin maceration to maximize the extraction of aromatic compounds from the grape skins. Fermentation is often spontaneous, utilizing native yeasts to foster complexity. The wine is then aged on its lees, a practice that contributes to its texture and depth. These techniques are employed to achieve the estate's winemaking philosophy of elegance and complexity.
