About this wine
A light golden Alsace Muscat with an intense, refined nose reminiscent of freshly picked grapes. Dry, crisp, and crunchy on the palate — the sensation of biting into a bunch of ripe Muscat grapes.
Smells exactly like fresh grapes but tastes bone dry — a fun surprise for first-time tasters.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Muscat Collection a sweet wine?
- No — despite its intensely grapey, floral aroma, it is fermented fully dry with no perceptible sweetness.
- When should I drink Muscat Collection?
- It is best served well chilled as an aperitif, and is meant to be drunk young while its fresh grape aromatics are at their peak.
- What makes Muscat different from Alsace's other white grapes?
- Unlike Riesling or Gewurztraminer, Muscat's wine tastes almost exactly like the grape itself — an intensely 'grapey' aroma carried through to a dry, crisp palate.

クロ・デュ・ザナケール
Clos du Zahnacker
WhiteRiesling · Pinot Gris · Gewurztraminer
Cave de Ribeauvillé's rarest and most historic cuvée: a field blend of equal parts Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer, co-harvested, co-pressed, and co-fermented from a single 1.24-hectare walled parcel within the Osterberg Grand Cru. Documented since the 8th century and exclusive to the cooperative since 1965, it shows a powerful, complex nose mixing Riesling's petrol edge, Pinot Gris's smokiness, and Gewurztraminer's rose and spice, with citrus, fig, and gunflint on a full, structured palate.
