Der Rebenhof's Gelber Muskateller Spätfüllung is 100% Gelber Muskateller (Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains) grown on a single steep slope in Southern Styria, Austria. The vines are 20 to 40 years old and planted on ancient river and lakebed deposits of sandstone, gravel, and calcareous marl, sediments laid down roughly 15 to 17 million years ago when this area was an inland sea. The estate holds Demeter biodynamic certification, farming under those standards since 2010.
Spätfüllung means late bottling. This wine was aged on its fine lees in stainless steel for 18 months before being bottled without filtration and without added sulfur. No enzymes, selected yeasts, sugar, or additives of any kind are used. The result is a wine that carries more texture and roundness than a standard early-release Muskateller, while retaining the grape's signature aromatic lift.
On the nose, orange blossom and ripe stone fruit lead, with a candy-like quality reminiscent of sour peach that is distinctly varietal and immediately recognizable. The extended lees contact adds weight to the mid-palate without dulling the acidity that keeps the wine fresh. Serve well chilled, around 45 to 48 degrees Fahrenheit.
