MUSCAT OF ALEXANDRIA 2023

May 2024 White Wine of the Month
Indulge in the legacy of the ages with our Muscat of Alexandria, a varietal rooted in antiquity, hailing from the venerable vineyards near the historic city of Alexandria on the Nile Delta’s western fringe in Egypt. As its name suggests, it whispers tales of ancient allure.

This cherished grape, untouched by genetic modification, has traversed time and continents, finding its place in the lush vineyards of Europe for sweet wine production and gracing the sun-kissed soils of Chile and South America for grape spirits.

With our 2023 vintage, we present a refreshing off-dry expression of Muscat of Alexandria, embracing the vibrant essence of the new world style. Delight in its food-friendly character and undeniable drinkability.
