100% Muscat of Alexandria from Roussillon, a region known for powerful wines – yet Matassa reveals here the elegant, delicate side of this southern French appellation. The old vines of Muscat d’Alexandrie yield extremely low yields of no more than 18 hectolitres per hectare.
Juicy and precise at once. The fruit shifts elegantly between ripe stone fruit, kernel fruit and oranges. The 35-day skin contact imparts a subtle yet perceptible tannin structureand extract that harmoniously integrates into the wine’s framework. Despite its complexity, the wine feels weightlessly light, with fine tannin structure and vibrant acidity that lend it clarity and elegance. With just 10.5% alcohol, this wine proves that finesse need not depend on power.
