Muscatel
in South Styria

South Styria, with its rolling hills, steep vineyards and unique soil structures, offers perfect conditions for growing Muscat.

.

• The soils: Muscat loves barren, calcareous and slate-rich soils, which give it a fine minerality and elegance.
• The climate: The warm days and cool nights allow the typical scented aromas to develop with particular intensity.
• The slopes: The steep vineyards ensure optimal sun exposure and slow, balanced ripening of the grapes.

All these factors ensure that the Styrian Gelber Muskateller tastes particularly fresh, aromatic and lively.

The Gelber Muskateller is known for its intense aroma – as soon as it is poured, it exudes a seductive fragrance reminiscent of summer and gardens in bloom.

• Citrus fruits – Fresh notes of lime, lemon and grapefruit
• Elderflower & herbs – Subtle hints of mint and lemon balm
• Muscat notes – A spicy, aromatic touch that makes the wine unmistakable
• Peach & apricot – Fruity nuances that provide a playful elegance

In Styria in particular, Muscat is characterised by its crisp acidity and dry, refreshing style. Unlike in other wine regions, it is almost exclusively dry here – which makes it particularly animating and easy to drink.

The Styrian Muscat is a true all-rounder when it comes to accompanying food. Its light, fresh style makes it a perfect match for many dishes – and it is also a wonderful treat on its own.

• Perfect with light dishes – salads, vegetable dishes & fresh herb cuisine
• A dream with fish & seafood – From ceviche to grilled fish
• Harmonises with spicy cheese – Goat’s cheese, blue cheese & Co.
• Ideal as an aperitif – A refreshing start to a cosy evening
• But the best pair is the Muscatel and the Styrian Backhend – crispy fried chicken

It is also particularly popular as a summer wine that should not be missed on any terrace. Its lively freshness and playful flavour make it the perfect choice for hot days.

The Gelber Muskateller has a long history in Styria, dating back to the Middle Ages. Today, it is one of the most important grape varieties in the region and delights wine lovers all over the world.

With its fresh, fragrant character, it stands for the lightness, hospitality and pure enjoyment that characterise Styria.

Whether at a picnic in the vineyard, at a Wine Tasting along the South Styrian Wineroad or simply on your own terrace – a glass of Styrian Muscat is always a good idea.

Light. Fresh. Irresistible
