Muscat Blanc de Rivesaltes, Mas des Caprices - 2023

Recently, I’ve been tasting through our dessert wine selection and came across this gem. Made from 100% Muscat Petits Grains, this Muscat Blanc de Rivesaltes is brimming with flavors of ripe peach, nectarine, mangoes, and passion fruit. The Muscat de Rivesaltes appellation in Roussillon allows for the use of both Muscat Petits Grains and Muscat of Alexandria in the production of this fortified dessert wine; however, in the case of this expression, the use of Muscat Petits Grains alone amplifies the flavors of tropical and stone fruits on the palate. If you’re looking to start tasting through our dessert wine selection, I would be inclined to point you to this bottle first. It maintains the perfect level of sweetness, acidity, and ripe fruit flavor that would do well to exhibit just how interesting this category of wine can be.
