Dry-grown vineyards in these warm regions are ideally suited for producing exceptionally ripe fruit. The grapes ripen with considerable raisining of the berries regularly producing over 20 Baume. The wine is fortified with neutral grape spirit with no, or very little fermentation to retain the varietal and raisined flavours and liqueur sweetness in the final wine. After many years of maturation, a selection of older and younger wines are judiciously blended to produce a complexity and balance of fruit and aged characters. The base blend from which the Museum Muscat is bottled is regularly re-blended to perpetuate the consistency and complexity of the classic style from year to year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis luscious dessert wine is deep amber to tawny in color, with the classic perfumed aroma of the muscat grape - rose petal, ginger and orange peel, with a hint of raisined fruit.

The wide spacing and consistently high quality in the ‘I’ block situated on the South facing ‘bench’ of the Santa Maria valley warranted a new set of inter-plants in the late 1990’s. Those new vines which are reaching a lovely stage of maturity develop fruit that has amazing complexity of flavor at lower levels of potential alcohol and balanced acidity. 2009 yielded just over 2 tons per acre. The other 40% in this blend comes from the hilltop block 11, which was chosen for planting because of the longer sunlight hours, and extremely poor soil which maintains higher acidity at riper levels of sugar, and a yield of just above 1 ton per acre. The 2009 harvest was extremely pure, allowing for minimally invasive techniques and wines that literally made themselves. Both blocks were hand harvested and gently pressed to 20% new French barrels for fermentation and aging. The wine was racked off the gross lees at 14 months, blended, and then back to barrel for an additional 5 months. It was then bottled un-filtered at 19 months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"width: 100%; height: 2px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRatings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e92 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"The winery’s style is a leaner, more minerally and elegant Chardonnay, rather than the blowsy, ripe kind so popular these days.
