Description

Imako DW Muskat White 2021

Sweet (fortified) wine produced from Muscat Ottonel variety

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Muscat Ottonel, from Povardarie, North Macedonia.

Taste Profile: Golden-amber colour and aromas of elderflower syrup, dark honey, caramel, quince and vanilla and cinammon hints. Full-bodied luscious wine with dried apricots, quince and toffeed sweet edge accompanied by good acidity.
To be paired with apple pie, rice pudding with cinnamon, panna cotta, creme brulee and caramel based desserts.

Winemaking Process: Late harvested grapes are gentle pressed & fortified to arrest fermentation

Lush & Balanced Desserts

Many of these wines often have been touched by botrytis, and have a beautiful balance between fruit & acidity. Despite being lush, they often have some brightness or mineraility to them, and are not as thick textured as some other dessert styles. Classic notes would be honey, botrytis, apricot, peach and other stonefruit, marmalade, spice

Fortification

Fortified wines are wines which have alcohol added to them, usually in the form of a neutral grape spirit like brandy. This was originally done to extend the longevity of wines, for the purpose of long journeys such as a the sailing routes of the East India Company

These styles are often sweeter as the fortification arrests fermentation early.
