Preserving tradition and giving it a modern twist is close to Christian Plattner's heart – and that's precisely why he continues to cultivate this grape variety. There are only about 7 hectares left in all of South Tyrol.

It's extremely demanding to cultivate. Its vigor varies greatly; the blossoms shrivel easily in cold weather, and the grapes are susceptible to rot due to their thin skins. What a diva! Christian enjoys the challenge. When his grandfather bought the estate, there were already several old Rose Muscat vines, and he planted more. Christian is even considering expanding them. The finished wine is worth all the effort. This combination of sweetness, aromatics, and grippy tannins is found in no other sweet wine in the world.

Winemaker's Note:

"I let most of the grapes for this wine dry on the vine for a long time, which increases the concentration in the grapes. This makes it extremely dense, complex, and aromatic."
