Gönc Winery Yellow Muscat Štajerska

This very fun, fresh, and crisp flowers-and-lychee-driven wine is a blend of two different clones of Yellow Muscat, hand-harvested from a single organically farmed vineyard. Peter calls them an early bird and a late bloomer. The early bird gives the wine all the freshness and aromas from the grapes, and the late bloomer is more mature and gives the wine depth and body. The highly unusual but equally highly successful use of full malolactic fermentation brings the wine together as a remarkably creamy, complex, and strikingly dry whole. Just about the best wine you’ll ever have with sushi, fish tacos, or a Reuben, but this hardly needs food to reveal its many charms.
