Mas Amiel Muscat de Rivesaltes 6/750 2008

After dining for any time in Paris [and all of France for that matter] you cannot help but notice Mas Amiel wines gracing every wine list. Foodies concur that Mas Amiel make some of the most versatile wines among the sweet category and that is perhaps because they seldom register as all too sweet –instead they are bright and invigorating. Mas Amiel Muscat de Rivesaltes marries a somewhat saline and citric quality of lemons and limes to gently aromatic white peaches with a mineral bedrock structure to generously provide us with a wine for any number of pairings. Made of Muscat of Alexandria & Muscat a Petit Grains. 15.5% alcohol by volume, 750ml
