All about Wine

The Wurttemberg Rarity

Background

Despite its name, Muskat-Trollinger is not a crossing, but rather a varietal in its own right. This little-known grape is cultivated primarily in Württemberg. It can be traced back to 1836 and is presumably a mutation of Trollinger. Originally, the very aromatic Muskat-Trollinger was grown as a table grape. Today, its distinctive muscat aroma makes it a real specialty.

Color & Flavor

Muskat-Trollinger delivers what its name promises:
it has a pronounced — but preferably not obtrusive — muscat bouquet, as well as the ruby red color and agreeable character of Trollinger. Its unique aromas and flavors provide a real taste sensation.

Food Affinities

Chilled dry or off-dry Muscat-Trollinger wines are tasty year round as an aperitif. As a sweet dessert wine it is delicious with desserts and Christmas cookies.
