This skin-contact Gelber Muskateller is vibrant, aromatic and wonderfully expressive, capturing the variety’s naturally exuberant character while adding depth through two weeks on skins. The nose bursts with orange blossom, ripe citrus, apricot and exotic spice. On the palate, it is lively yet textural, balancing juicy fruit with gentle tannins and refreshing acidity. The skin contact adds grip and structure without overwhelming the wine’s aromatic purity, resulting in an orange wine that remains remarkably drinkable. Joyful and full of personality, it’s the kind of bottle that disappears faster than expected.

Vinification

Hand-harvested Gelber Muskateller was fermented spontaneously on its skins for two weeks, extracting both aromatic complexity and gentle tannic structure. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered, with only a minimal amount of sulphur added at bottling, allowing the purity of the fruit and the character of the Christina to shine through.
