Vinification of Gelber Muskateller The grapes for the Gelber Muskateller come from the renowned wine-growing region of Burgenland, more precisely from the Neusiedler See sub-region. The special microclimate with warm days and cool nights ensures ideal ripening. The Scheiblhofer winery places great value on sustainable cultivation and careful hand harvesting. The grapes are picked early in the morning to best preserve freshness and aromatics. After arriving in the cellar, the ripe grapes are gently pressed, thereby minimizing undesirable bitter substances. The subsequent fermentation takes place at controlled low temperatures. This preserves the characteristic aromas of elderflower and lychee, which can be experienced so intensely in the finished wine. For maturation, the wine is stored in stainless steel tanks, which supports the fresh and uncomplicated style. Due to the short storage time before bottling, the Gelber Muskateller retains its clear structure and liveliness. The entire vinification follows a clean, precise approach that places the typicity of the grape variety in the foreground. The result is a single-varietal wine that makes the climatic and geographical characteristics of Burgenland visible. At the Scheiblhofer winery, tradition and modernity are in harmony, which is reflected in the consistently high quality of the Gelber Muskateller .
