Malat Gelber Muskateller Landwid

點擊次數：3618

Malat’s 2006 Gelber Muskateller Landwid displays the distinctive and engaging personality one so often finds with this grape in his hands. Or perhaps I ought to have written: “personalities,” because Muskateller can have many faces here, and this year’s is the classic, briskly pungent and bright one known from Styria. Sage and lemon stain the palate, where a formidable sense of sheer extract is not in the least incompatible with refreshment, invigoration, and dynamic. A lick of salt with the citrus and herb offers a finish very much in keeping with the personality on this occasion, although one could wish for a bit more sheer sap and juiciness. Like many growers along the Danube, Gerard Malat began harvesting already in mid-September to insure some light-weight wines appropriate to summer, 2008 consumption, and finished at the end of October.
