2022 Strauss Steiermark Gelber Muskateller Klassik

The Strauss wine estate started in 1810 under the name “Schopper”. In 1948, Karl and Johanna Strauss took over the business, which their son Karl, who graduated from the Fruit and Wine Growing College in Silberberg with great distinction, carried on. Karl’s two sons Karl jun. and Gustav play an active and successful role in the business. Karl jun. is a business graduate and is responsible for logistics and administration. Gustav, having studied at the college in Silberberg like his father, and now a master winegrower, oversees the vineyards and winery, a function he performs with great flair and success. Classic stands for freshness, fruit- driven wines of typical Styrian origin. It is produced of grapes cultivated in numerous small vineyards in the winegrowing region in southern Styria. It is grown on a sandy loam soil with lime included. Intensive flavors of elderflower, citrus notes, grapefruit, and nutmeg on the palate, with a long citrus fruit, pineapple and rose petal aftertaste. The ideal aperitif.
