Weibel Family 2010 Orange Muscat, Mendocino

Harvest & Tasting Notes

In 2010, Mendocino County experienced a very cool, long growing season which allowed the county’s white grapes to develop excellent flavors and complexity. Mendocino did not suffer from excessive fog and wetness that caused concern in other appellations and this delicate fruit was picked well before the late October rains.

Orange Muscat is a rare Muscat varietal that is quickly gaining in popularity. This exotic, slightly sweet and refreshing wine comes from select vineyards in Mendocino. Weibel Family 2010 Orange Muscat was cold fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to highlight the vibrant fruit flavors, bright acidity and perfumed bouquet. When the fermenting wine reached its optimum flavor profile, fermentation was arrested to finalize the desired sweetness and mouthfeel.

Weibel Family Mendocino Orange Muscat is a delightful semi-sweet wine with intriguing notes of lychee, damask rose and mango. Enjoy on its own, with fresh fruit, or paired with pastries and desserts. Enjoy served cold, through 2012.
