Muscat de Rivesaltes Organic 2021, Domaine Cazes
Domaine Cazes - Dessert Wine
Clay-limestone with some schist materials as well as siliceous pebble. Soil perfectly suited for the production of high quality wines. Age of the vines: 30 years-old. Yields: 20hl/ha.
Production
After direct pressing the alcoholic fermentation starts at 18°C and is stopped, while still in its liquid phase, by adding neutral alcohol. Alcohol level: 15% Alc/Vol. Residual sugars: 114.5 g/l. The wine retains a proportion of the sugars that occur naturally in the fruit. Fortification may take place earlier or later, according to whether a sweet (doux) or medium-sweet (demi-sec) wine is required, providing that the regulations regarding final alcohol content, which must be between 15% and 18% by volume, are respected.
Tasting Notes
A rich, sweet white wafting flowers into the nostrils and citrus and exotic fruits onto the tongue.
Food Pairing
This wine can see a meal thorugh from cheese dishes such as blue cheese and spiced walnut terrine or desserts such as cheesecake mousse with rum-poached plums or poached pears with sweet wine.
