Druen Muscat de Frontignan er registreret som Muscat Blanc (Muscat à petits grains blancs). Producentens noter (engelsk): General: The 2022 vintage stood out for its intensity and precision, shaped by a late start and a condensed harvest window. Warm, dry conditions dominated the season, with minimal rainfall and increased sun exposure contributing to excellent ripening. The growing season brought some pressure due to wind and heat, but balanced canopy growth and careful vineyard management delivered fruit of exceptional quality. Temperatures remained steady through harvest, avoiding the intense spikes often seen in late summer. Wine record: The 2022 harvest will be remembered as one of exceptional quality across the Cape, marked by a warm, dry growing season and a notably late, condensed harvest. In Constantia, this resulted in a compact yet precise picking period from 9 March to 8 April, completed in 18 passes through the vineyard. Maturation: The combination of residual sugar and alcohol levels has a well known preservative effect on bottled wine. This wine is capable of ageing for many decades if not generations from release. Ideal serving temperature is 12°-14° Celsius.
