Maria Hick 2017 Gelber Muskateller "Terrassen", Ried Stiegelstal (Wachau)
The pesky “Muscat à petits grains” is a divisive grape. Aficionados love it with unalloyed passion, while detractors find its perfumed charms too much of a good thing. Needless to say, we are in the former camp, and could not resist the resonant floral tones and juicy palate of this forthright and delicious wine. Stiegelstal is the estate’s most important vineyard. It enjoys complex soils rich in paragneiss and quarzite, mixed with amphybolites.
